I want to share a column with you written by Dr. Susan B. Thistlethwaite, President of Chicago Theological Seminary.
The column was originally written for the "On Faith" feature of the online version of the Washington Post. (By the way, "On Faith" is an unusual example of a much-needed venue for intelligent and respectful conversation among religious thinkers of all faiths on today's crucial issues: Washington Post: On Faith.
Susan re-published her column at Wide Open Thinking, the CTS Blog, where access is a bit easier.
Anthony Hollins and I were classmates, and I learned a lot from him because he was not afraid to tell it like he saw it. Because of the world we live in, he saw things that would have been forever invisible to me.

I knew Anthony as well; he once ran a fantastic dance workshop for my program at North Park. Then, when I visited CTS, he was one of the students staffing the Visit Day and was so welcoming. He is sorely missed!
Yes. If Anthony was in the room, you could not help but know that he was--and you were--ALIVE!
i just wanted to offer my thanks for posting on your blog these wonderfully sad and challenging words by Dr. Susan B. Thistlethwaite, President of Chicago Theological Seminary. She writes and speaks powerfully and this is no exception- I encourage all of us to read about Anthony, a friend and student of hers and more importantly someone who challenges all of us to do more than have good intentions.
That seems like an Advent message to me..........
