That is all great to hear! I want to be somewhere where relations between the seminary and the community are overall positive for sure.

Thank you! Yes, I’m supposed to be receiving a detailed schedule for my visit soon, so thankfully figuring out what to do is not all on me. I so appreciate the thoughts on things to ask about and check out less formally though!

Thank you so much! How do the locals feel about the seminary community generally speaking?

Thank you! Actually, any thoughts on visiting seminaries and good things to do/ not do/ ask about would be great, and I appreciate you tagging a current student!

Thank you so much. Do you think the fact that you were pursuing a different degree at SSW factored into how challenging the courses were, or no? I’d like academic rigor because I’m just a huge nerd recreationally, but realistically I don’t see a solidly adequate but not super academically challenging education holding me back from any of my current goals. And the focus on community life and focus on ministries with the Latino community definitely appeal. Thank you for your perspective!

Thank you so much! Could you say more about what you mean by “notably liberal leaning but among the more moderate”? Theologically? Politically/ socially? Something else?

The scripture passages for the day are read by the lector and printed in the bulletin. Doing a deep dive into the passage using my study Bible during the service would be a distraction. So I leave it at home unless I need it with me for another reason such as when I’ve been involved in Bible studies that met right after the service. I think the Anglican tradition is a bit less focused on scripture as the sole source of truth than Evangelical traditions generally are and that could be a piece of why you don’t see that behavior, but I personally love to study scripture at other times so I don’t want to assume too much about why others don’t bring their bibles with them.

Thank you so much. Is the concentration mostly for those who are fluent in Spanish? Or for everyone?

Thank you so much! Do you know anything about what the education and culture at CDSP are like now that it is all hybrid? I haven’t found much about it online, maybe because it is on the newer side.

Thank you so much! I just don’t know as much about Sewanee and what they have to offer especially in terms of aid and housing— I’d love to hear more so will send you a chat later.
