Definatly the works of GRS Mead need to be looked at. His insight was amazing.<BR/>More than that however is the practical day to day running of a parrish. Most gnostic churches do not have full time paid clergy so learning to delagate responsibiltiy is vital.

Obviously the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hamadi phenomena needs to be carefully dealt with, but I was curious what you would consider doing with Phil. K. Dick? Contemporary literary and filmographic expositions will be critical--may be the best element in Outreach any of us could have.<BR/>And if Dick is the lead Fiction writer "using" Gnosis Vice Chancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678309115825163571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19821486.post-1152089000284408782006-07-05T02:43:00.000-06:002006-07-05T02:43:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Vice Chancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678309115825163571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19821486.post-1152061756155268042006-07-04T19:09:00.000-06:002006-07-04T19:09:00.000-06:00Troy: At least it's a start getting together a co...Troy: At least it's a start getting together a couple of times a year for discussion and learning among one another. Your vision is commendable and incredibly worthwhile to pursue. I know I'd be willing to help out in whatever you need and I'm certain others may also. Who knows maybe a Gnostic Bill Gates will appear :) And you have an idea how to get this seminary off the ground by taking Andrea (Acolyte)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06558528802549038983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19821486.post-1152045802814000012006-07-04T14:43:00.000-06:002006-07-04T14:43:00.000-06:00(Hopefully, my comment with be posted this time.)A...(Hopefully, my comment with be posted this time.)<BR/><BR/>Andrea, this is the current situation, and from my point-of-view it sucks. The whole notion behind getting a seminary going is to provide something different, a real alternative. This false dichotomy exists because we have yet to step up to the plate.<BR/><BR/>The degree options out there can aid in preparation, but mostly do not. Those Fr.

I believe that could help me with my clergy studies since the subject is learning how to work with others in need. After I'm done with my BA, then the question is where do I go from there? Do I be practical and obtain my MA in Early Childhood ED Andrea (Acolyte)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06558528802549038983noreply@blogger.com
