End of Semester Post - Fall 2013
At the end of each seminary semester, I’ve written a reflection of my biggest learnings. Here's the previous ones: http://christensenshare.blogspot.com/2013/05/its-not-always-been-like-we-think-it-has.html http://christensenshare.blogspot.com/2013/01/end-of-semester-update.html http://christensenshare.blogspot.com/2012/05/view-from-rooftop.html http://christensenshare.blogspot.com/2011/12/so-how-is-seminary-going.html During this semester, I only had one class. The course is linked to my internship, so I did a lot of examination of and reflection on my internship site, Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis. Solomon’s Porch is an independent church plant. Because it’s independent , the founders didn’t have to follow denominational requirements for functioning, organization, or doctrine. And because it’s a church plant , the founders got to make it up as they went. It’s a little bit like an open shop at an art studio. You just go in and “make your own church.”
