Getting a Feel of Taking Classes

The campers were divided into groups and arranged to go into various classes as auditing students to take lessons together with our own students. Every camper has had one or two such a class-taking experience. What actually have they heard in those classes?

　　“In these two lessons, through the six dramatic marriages of Henry VIII in the 16th century, we retraced the beginning of reformation of England and hence explained the factors that molded the structure and practices of the Anglican Church.” (Dr. Nathan Ng: Church History)

　　“To follow Jesus means to walk the road treaded by Jesus; to be Jesus’ disciple is not something about rational understanding and the study of Jesus’ deeds and words but something to do with relationship building, identifying with Jesus and accepting his style of living.” (Dr. Clement Shum: New Testament Message)

　　“Full lament has complaint, ventilation of frustration, turning point, renewed faith.” (Dr. Jerry Moye: Old Testament Interpretation)

　　“After a relationship of trust is established between the client and the minister, the counseling process can be more effective and the minister can then through questioning and even confrontation help the client face himself / herself and face God who is full of love and truth.” (Dr. Desmond Choi: Principles of Pastoral Care and Counseling)

　　“Leon Morris states that the Christian way is never a way of rigid conformity to a system. ‘It is one of the curious things in life that Christians have all too often neglected this [freedom]….’” (Dr. Lindsay Robertson: Systematic Theology)

　　“To Karl Barth ‘dogmatics is ethics’ and Christianity requires us to act according to what one believes …. Knowing and doing should be in unison and never separated.” (Dr. Vincent Lau: Christian Ethics)

　　“The influence of Plato to Christian theology consists mainly in turning God into a deity alien to this world and then further making him apathetic to the suffering of this world.” (Dr. Andres Tang: Introduction to Western Philosophy)
