Dear Corporate Chaplain Jim Miller and Mr. Sugata:
Wonderful presentation! Apprenticeship is a key word in our walk with Christ. It is "walk the talk and talk the walk" both. It is faith and works simultaneously. I teach English literature and Shakespeare. Plays are about perfomance and we now have new Ph.D. programs like the one in Texas that is only performance. (Note: Most children that are junior high or older do not like to be called "kid". They are sensitive about that. ) This was a very encouraging and enlightening talk. I finished a year as an associate chaplaincy training through Pastor Tommy Barnet's Assembly of God Sunday University program in Cave Creek outside of Phoenix pre-2012. This is very helpful year training for any online teacher, although I make it clear to my students I am not a chaplain, minister or psychologist and I forward them to the professionals through GCU online student websites. All the best!
