I’m been in Pasadena, California for the last week, visiting the campus of Fuller Theological Seminary for the last few classes of the MAGL. It’s been an amazing week in a beautiful part of the country, with incredible people and a lot of learning.
This past week’s course was Organic Organizations and Churches, taught by the inimitable Dr. Shelley Trebesch. Before coming to Fuller, Dr. T served with InterVarsity and OFM. The course covered concepts like developing a values and mission, understanding organizational life cycles, and leading with emotional intelligence. It was fascinating discuss this my cohort-two dozen missionaries and ministers from all over the world-and hear how these concepts play out in different circumstances.
In my downtime, I’ve visited the Getty Museum, which is probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. I also took a bicycle tour of the city. Near campus we have an Intelligentsia, where I’ve been spending way too much money. It’s been about 85 degrees, and the light, dry air would make you sing. I wish you could be here!
I’ll be here for one more week completing the capstone course of the MAGL.
