Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Classes started again a few weeks ago and everything is going fine. I'm taking Anglican history, history of liturgics, contextual ed, and systematic theology. I enjoy all the classes and the workload is moderate. I especially like Anglican history; it's nice to know where we come from. I also really like systematic theology, because it is providing a solid framework on which to lean all of our previous courses.
My family is doing well. My sons Brennan and Aidan are 11 and 9, respectively. Both are A/B honor students. They are also into scouting and will start baseball soon. My youngest son Joshua just turned 2 and he is sweet and friendly. My wife Marti has been stuck at the house a lot lately with the kids due to unusually cold and snowy weather. Last night we won a “Dating Game” contest at a couples’ dinner, which I think is proof that I actually do listen to Marti when she talks to me.
I am still working with First Presbyterian Church in McMinnville, which is about an hour from Sewanee. It has been fun to learn about the Presbyterian way of doing worship and I think they've learned a bit about Anglicanism.
Our family will be in Jacksonville for at least eight weeks over the summer so that I can do a diocesan internship. The internship is four weeks at a parish, two weeks at Camp Weed, and one week at the diocesan office. We’ll be staying at Marti’s parents’ house (they will be traveling in China with Brennan).
Blessings,
Jon
