Tamilnadu Theological Seminary

What an adventure that we have had. Today we heard a lecture from Dr. Carr on Reading the Bible through new eyes. I was fascinating. I had to go back to our room and reread some of the text he talked about. He brought forth a wonderful new thought on Cain and Able. In order to get here we rode an overnight train and that was an adventure one that I am glad that will only happen once more. This evening we saw the MAdurai Palace and watched a light show that told the history of the city and the rulers of the past. Dr. Niles arranged for us to buddy up with seminarians here and I asked two of them if they had read Bonhoeffer and they had not so I advised them of where to start. Ha! I apologize for no pictures we have not been somewhere where we could use our own computers so I do not want to download on another computer. I am getting homesick for the church and family, but we are on the go so much that it keeps my mind off things. Today we also met Drew Seminar students and had lunch with them. this was quite a gift to discuss topics and issues with students taught by other faculty. My roomate and I are having great discussions and dialogue over the days topics and also any other issue which needs to be raised. He is going to read Bonhoeffer also. So far all is well with everyone on the trip, and we are very excited about the next few days. KNow that I love and miss all of you, and cannot wait to share in more detail all that is happening. The pluralism in this place completely meshes. There is a gated house, and a thatch shack right side by side. There are cows walking in the iddle of the road while traffic is four lanes deep going very fast. It is an amazing place. I tink that is all for now I wil try and post again soon.
