He dwelled among us

Urbana - Part II

I think the only criticism I have of Urbana so far is that I have a niggling doubt about that slogan. Is “dwelled” proper English? Somehow “dwelt” sounds more correct, but it’s probably one of those either-way things. I’ll check once the internet is back up at my hotel.

I’ve taken some time to look over the seminar booklet, and I’m having trouble choosing which to attend. There are 43 options during the first seminar time, and there are two seminars each day. Most of them do not repeat, so I’ve really got to choose. Here’s what I’ve narrowed it down to for today:

Advocacy 101: Advocacy for the Poor is Biblical
Practical Justice 101: Basic Strategies to Transform Your Community
Conversational Evangelism Tools
Homosexuality: Answering the Tough Questions on Sexuality
Serving Christ as a Professor: 10 Things You Need to Know
Towards a Biblical Understanding of Poverty

I wish ALL my friends and family were here, since I’ve picked out sessions for everyone: Mission to the Scientific World, Contemplatives in the Midst of Life, the Missional Church and Worship, even Water Sanitation in Community Development.

Can you tell I’m excited?
