This year has been a year of change. After much prayer, I started my doctoral journey with anticipation. My vision of what life would look like this year was very different than it has actually turned out. It has been a good year, but a tiring year. A restless spirit seems to be hovering over me,…

This year’s reading stretched and pushed me to think in different ways. The Matrix of Christian Ethics: Integrating Philosophy and Moral Theology in a Postmodern Context was greatly influential. Christian ethics and human ethics do not always agree. For example, in America the debate over the legalization of same sex marriage is about to be…

Year End Review 2014-2015 This has been an amazing year of growth and discovery. Not knowing exactly what to expect, I assumed the program would be similar to my Masters program, I was wrong. While there are some similarities, the volume and breadth of exposure is significantly different than any of my previous experiences. The…

Ideally, a human life should be a constant pilgrimage of discovery. The most exciting discoveries happen at the frontiers. When you come to know something new, you come closer to yourself and to the world. Discovery enlarges and refines your sensibility. John O’Donohue

I know that time doesn’t move faster and can’t move faster, but these two years have gone by very quickly. While the schedule has been intense, it has not been burdensome. As a full-time lead pastor with a family and all the responsibilities that both require, this LGP program has been grafted into my life,…

Hong Kong Advance: A Phenomenal Experience Personal Interests My participation in the George Fox Evangelical Seminary 2015 Advance in Hong Kong was a very unique and rich experience, enhanced by preparatory reading/discussion assignments before arrival. The experiential factors involved using all my sensory and mental faculties to take in Hong Kong society in order to…

It pretty much hit in a single moment. We were in the lecture hall at HKSKH Ming Hua Theological College in Hong Kong, when the quake occurred. Dr. Philip Wickeri, our guest presenter stated, “If I were to generalize the state of Christianity across China, I would have to conclude it is pretty good. And if…

As I arrived in Hong Kong, I was not quite sure what to expect. While I understood it was where East met West, I questioned how that would play out within the life of the city. Would it be more West than East or the converse? Once I saw the stunning views and the immensity…

PERSONAL INTERESTS In light of my ministry context, I have been looking for a doctoral program that could provide me with three things: deeper studies in leadership dynamics in the context of globalization, a program that would not only emphasize knowledge but community, and interaction with a broader body of Christians outside my denominational circles.…

“So how was Hong Kong, Mary?” When people ask that inevitable question, I’ve struggled to find an answer that is unique to Hong Kong. The iconic skyscrapers set the city apart from most other places; the price of square footage for a flat seems outlandish; and even though there are crowds of people, those who…
