On Sunday, June 20, we started our 2nd week of Summer Institute with a test reflecting upon discussions from the first week. Then in the afternoon, we started with the topics for the rest of the course:-Women in Ministry (or actually Women in Pastoral Leadership)
-Meaning, Forms, and Methods of Worship in SDB churches
-Baptism
-The Lord's Supper (including transubstantiation, consubstantiation, real presence, and memorial views)
-Origins of SDB General Conference (including original purpose and the "associational principle")
-Present polity and structure of the SDB General Conference (with focus on the roles of General Council, CLT, and the Executive Director)
-How General Conference functions in session (one week a year) and out of session (51 weeks a year)
It was a great two weeks with a great bunch of guys who love Jesus. I want to thank Pastor Gordon Lawton and Nick Kersten for teaching our class and for the students in the class for helping me learn a lot of lessons (both in the syllabus and not.!)
I would love to write or share more of my thoughts or our discussions on any interested topic. Leave a comment here, ask me on facebook, or send me an email.
