Just a quick note on some personal academic and educational news. I have resigned from my position as a faculty member in theology at Martin Luther School of Bible and Theology. Primarily, because I am not Lutheran; and I also don’t affirm Christian Universalism and the role of females as ordained pastors (which MLSBT does). So, from a conscience point of view that was wearing on me.
Also, on the PhD I had from MLSBT: I have declined that degree once and for all. There are a variety of reasons for this. I definitely did the work for it etc. But I am simply stating here I have given it back and/or declined it; just for the record. My current terminal degree is still my MA degree in New Testament and Historical Theology from Multnomah Biblical Seminary. I’m still hopeful to get the PhD, or some equivalent doctorate (maybe not till the Eschaton).
I have left comments closed on this one, since it is just an update post.
