You're looking at a new adjunct religious studies prof at Booth University! I'm teaching Intro to Christianity to (with*) students from India with very different religious backgrounds. I'm smitten. This is a dream for a student-oriented and innovative educator like me.

Hi, my name is Nikayla and I've never been to Manitoba before today. There is no story in human history that has impacted me more than Tina Fontaine's story. If there is a memorial here or place to bring tobacco and scream into the void....please tell me everything.

The sacred text will always feel as new and unsettling as the people you read it with. Get out there. The earth is *already* filled with the glory - you've just been invited to witness it. There's no strategic plan. It's awkward and daunting so do it awkwardly and daunted.

Maria Pantino was Spain's top hurdler in the 1988 Olympics and she was disqualified because she had a Y chromosome. She fought the charge for 2 years and she won. There are women with XY chromosomes. She rejoined the Olympic squad in 1992.

You're lecturing on the Christian doctrine of Salvation to students from an entirely different cultural and religious context and they ask, "what are the benefits of becoming Christian?" What is your answer?

Neither Harris nor Walz have given birth and they both have pet cats. What is this world coming to? 😂😂😂

In my Christianity course, Sikh & Hindu students watch a Christian film and answer: if I only had this film, what would I think christians believe? My favourite: Christians believe God works miracles to bring liberation from oppression so people can connect with the Divine.

"So far, in the Bible reading, I see that Christian people feel strongly about politics and standing up to the powerful for the weak. Moses gave up his imperial identity and at the center of the Christian life is an executed political opponent of the empire." #quotesfromclass

Panentheists: "All melons, yes even cantaloupes, are filled with the Holy Ghost."

I know several couples who've had to have this talk. Some marriages survived. Some did not. Can anyone here relate to this story?

Hi, PhD student here, Why do all the commentators pre-1990 use roman numerals instead of numbers? Is it a typewriter thing? Signed, someone googling, "Isa. xl-lxvi" again
