I almost became a Methodist today.
Dr. Kenneth C. Kinghorn, who used to teach church history around here, said today that he'd be happy to recommend me for a
John Wesley doctoral fellowship, knowing my interest in doing synthetic work between biblical studies and church history and that I intend to pursue PhD studies. You see, he's on the board of directors. Which means that I probably would have gotten one. The average is about $10,000.
And then I had to take a big gulp.
"Ah, yeah...I'm not a Methodist."
"Oh, that's a shame. You'd be a perfect candidate."

What exactly are you these days Chuck? Have you been reformed yet? If you just add a little Luther to your Augustine . . . .
Keep Luther away from my Augustine!
I do like Wesley's reading of Augustine, though.
Something I'm grappling with too... I want my resume to lean more nondenominational, but there's money if I stick with the Methodists. What gives?
