Friends:

Time to go out for a little coffee.

These are exciting times at the Consortium.
Our new e-newsletter has just gone out to faculty and students.

It reports to faculty on the Faculties’ Convocation and Dr. Erickson’s
straightforward and stimulating address.

It reports to students of the upcoming
Essay Contest and the early-September prayer service and dinner
for new students.

The Board of Trustees executive committee met last Monday on
many important issues.

They got a laugh out of the contrast between my two presentations at Convocations in September. At Virginia Union I preached on Philippians 2:1-11 [Jesus humbled Himself] and heard quite a few amens! A few days earlier at Gettysburg I gave a paper on the Holy Spirit and got a few laughts from the faculty! Thus the difference of the two excellent convocations.

Peace,
John
