Church Ministry Week

Hey all

It has been yet another good week of classes. I have to say this one class has been one of my favorite classes so far. The class was taught by Jen Lee, one of our interns, dad. You could totally tell that in his teaching he really had a passion for what he did. Then because of that passion the course was really good too. This course was a lot of foundational practice for me. A lot of what we learned in class was good and reinforcing for me. We went over our spiritual gifts and the practices of the Church. We talked about Denominations, and vantage points of different churches and the translation of scriptures. We also talked a lot on the controversy amongst the church. It was really good taking this course because even though David Lee had his viewpoints in the Church and stuff, he never forced his view on anyone. He went about teaching the course with humility and understanding. He more asked us about what we thought and then helped us enforce what we thought or corrected us if our pattern of thought was skewed. For me personally this week was a big enforcing week for my views. I have already in my walk thought through my viewpoint and come to a good spot in my personal perception of things, and this course either enforced them better or forced me to better look into them.
The biggest thing I noticed is that no matter what your views are on things, such as Baptism, or Woman's roles in the church or, how you do Communion... it really is the fact that we all call Christ our Lord and want anything we do to honor him. Us as Christians need to get over the little things and realize we are all on the same team working for the same cause. The Cause for Christ!!

God Bless
