March 2010 Prayer Letter
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Grace and peace to you on this day as February draws to a close. I am writing this letter from the Latin American Biblical University (UBL) in San Jose, Costa Rica. When I wrote at the end of January, I did not yet know if I was going to be invited to participate in the annual professors’ conference here. The confirmation of my participation came during the first week of February and here I am. The professors’ conference this year focused on Latin American theologies. The presence of colleagues from different branches of the UBL in Peru, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Guatemala allowed us to celebrate and affirm the way this unique educational project functions across many contexts and touches many lives. Students have the opportunity to do most of their theological study in their own countries and then come to Costa Rica to interact with students and professors from throughout Latin America.
I’ll be staying in San Jose another week to continue work on new materials for the teaching of the history of Christianity courses. I love being where I have access to a library and colleagues with whom I can converse. I’ll be returning to Guatemala City on March 8.
