And so it Begins...Again

Well it has been quite some time since I last updated, and a lot has happened since then. The last time I wrote, I had finished my master's thesis, was working on an article and was applying to PhD programs. In the time since then, I have decided not to pursue my PhD (for now) taken a job with an international humanitarian and development agency called Church World Service and started the ordination process with the United Church of Christ. One might say that things are a bit different for me than they were in April 2009, but all of this is very good. I continue to do my research as much as possible and hope to eventually finish that article. I will continue to write about that progress here, as it happens. I will also write about my work with CWS, my experience with choosing to enter into ordained ministry with the UCC, and my travels over the past few years to Africa. So, this blog has just gotten much more versatile, and I hope this will encourage me to update more often.
