Spring 2000
 Pastoral Counseling with Dan Boling
This was my first class at GGBTS. I didn't know what to expect, I enjoyed it and the text.. Counseling is so contrary to my personality type. It's hard to be an aloof confidant. I conducted two counseling sessions. This is my first verbatim and this is my a second verbatim. I appreciated the in-class discussions and the personal experience that Dr. Boling shared with us. After leaving his class I also enjoyed his blonde jokes via e-mail.

 Church Web Design with Herb Drake
As a first time (non-returning) student, my sign-up choices were limited. I decided to take this web-making class, even though I already knew a lot about HTML. I found that there was a lot I didn't know and appreciated the instructor. The class motivated me to go beyond my original notion of my personal web site. So if you are reading this, it's because of Herb's class.

Summer 2000
 Christian Ethics with James Higgs
This was a quick intensive class. Students came in from all over the West. I was assigned to a smaller group for projects. This is the report on our major text,"the Moral Quest".
(There is a picture of our group below) Our group presented on the issue of war and peace. I also did a report of Jacques Ellul.I think this is the area into which I want to focus most of my seminary ambition. The discussions provoked the outline of a book on ethics. I hope to take it further...

Fall 2000

We studied the OT Torah and background of the NME. Gary took some getting used to. His grading methods are wierd, but I adjusted. I reviewd 2 articles. I wrote my big paper on Sodom and Gomorrah.
|
|
 Church History One with Dwight Honeycutt
This content of this class was right up my alley and the instructor was great in both knowledge and presentaion. I wrote five illustrations from early church history.To honor my son at his Catholic seminary, I wrote my biographical sermon on Saint Dominic.
|
|
 Foundations of Ministry with Michael Thompson
This as a CR/NC class. We met mostly in a circle of chairs and discussed our way through 3 foundational books, one was Preparing for the Christian Ministry, another was How to think Theologically and the third was Spirit of the Disciplines. It was a non-pressurized, enjoyable experience.
|
Spring 2001
Old Testament Two with Gary Arbino
We studied the Kethihim and the Nevihim as well as the apocrapha. I got along better with Gary. I wrote one paper on Joshua 22 an essay as part of an exam and a report about our reading.
See what an amazing job Dr. Arbino did in his rendition of the prophet Amos. |

 Principles of Church Planting with Bill Wagner
I learned a lot from this class, especially about the book of Nehemiah. I wrote two papers: one about an accurate picture of a church (this one I moved to my private section because my critique about Berkland offended some people. If you want to see it, ask me.) and the other about 12 things that help a church to grow.
|
|
 Christian Philosophy of Religion with Andy Pak (an online course)
This is a good on line course. I wrote five short papers and a final research paper. The first paper was was about reason, the second was about pain, based on the book by C. S. Lewis. The third was about Durkheim's theory of Religion. My fourth paper was about The Nature of Religion and my fifth paper was about the defense of God in the presence of pain. My final research paper was about "Homosexuality in the church: Exploring the boundaries of pluralism".

 Multicultural Ministry with Leroy Gainey
I appreciated this class. There were two written requirements: one requirement was to make two site visits to non-christian services. A second requirement was to write about a specific aspect of the Multicultural church. I visited the Metropolitan Church & a Samhain celebration. I wrote about Korean-American Churches in the Bay Area:United by Culture / Divided by Language

 January Term 2002
Greek with Jay Noh (not to be confused with this Dr. No.)
This is really my third attempt at Greek. In 1971, I bought a book and tried to learn it on my own -- Not much luck. In 1983, I studied a bit in Eugene, but I had to drop the class when I moved to Korea. I hope this third time is the charm !! Maranaqa!! There are no papers in this class, so nothing to hyper to.
