new / old things resurfacing

I can't tell you how excited I've been as I've learned more about the Center for Reconciliation at Duke. And it's not just that but the deeper themes that the Center promotes in this whole realm of the 'ministry of reconciliation.'  I've been reading one of Chris Rice's books about his life and ministry going back to the 1980s, and it's been really instructive and beneficial to just track with someone else's experiences in seeking and living out reconciliation in our divided society.  I love it.

I applied last week for a week-long Summer Institute at Duke's center, and I'll see in a couple of weeks whether I get in, and whether or not I receive some financial assistance.  We'll see... even if this doesn't work out, I'm excited nonetheless about what's happening here, and opportunities to explore these themes further in my life!
