Endgame by Matt Voytek

With the loss of an hour also comes the loss of the illusion that we have a lot of time left before the end of the semester, before the coming of that dreaded beast: finals.



As the semester draws to a close, deadlines draw near, and the nature of the beast means that the deadlines come closer together, if not (Heaven forbid!) overlapping.

But it is survivable, with effort and dedication, and we come out the other end with knowledge about ourselves and our traditions, knowledge that will serve us well however we choose to minister to the universe. These trials can be overcome.


This is not just the case in terms of a seminary education; just last week Professor Paul Capetz's quest to be reinstated as an openly gay clergyperson in the Presbyterian Church (USA) came to a successful conclusion.


God be with you in your struggles.
