Greetings, Merry Mystics!

My seminary was the Earlham School of Religion. I’m so glad I found it—or it found me. I had a great experience there, and I would recommend ESR to anyone who’s thinking of seminary studies.

But what draws students to seminary studies in the first place? My classmates and I spent quite a lot of time trying to explain, to ourselves and to each other, why we were there. I’m not sure any of us came up with an entirely satisfactory answer at the time, but here’s one that’s true for me now.

Bright blessings,

Adam
