I am a pastor in the United Methodist Church and a perpetual graduate student, having attended Georgia State, Erskine Seminary and Candler School of Theology at Emory University. I am looking to get yet another degree because the person who dies with the most degrees, wins! (Just kidding.)



I am interested in the fields of:


 * The Emergent Church
 * Early Christianity
 * John Wesley (my hero!)
 * Systematic Theology but particularly the
 * Theology of Methodism
 * The structure of the Great Prayer of Thanksgiving in particular:
 * The structures of Anaphoras of great age like:
 * The Anaphora of Hippolytus
 * The Anaphora of Addai and Mari
 * The Liturgy of St. James
 * Evangelism as defined by Barth's missio dei
 * Filmmaking
 * Photography
 * Publishing
 * Music
 * Science Fiction Shows:
 * Firefly
 * Star Trek of any flavor
 * Battlestar Galactica
 * Martial Arts
 * Naruto and other Japanese Anime

My next degree with be something to do with Wesley (maybe at Duke? Emory?) I would love to do a thesis on the Emerging Church/Emergent Church as compared to the development of religious societies of the 1680's and Wesley's "Holy Club". Or perhaps I will go for a Masters of Sacred Music from Emory? Who knows?
