As I type, Row is in the room next door in her final class for her Diploma of Biblical Studies. I reported this back in May – but she ended up doing an extra two subjects. This time she’s really finished. Props to Row for finishing! Proud husband.
Props also to Moore College. I think this course is brilliant. While there would be value lost from the intensity of community and relationships, I’d argue that the Diploma of Biblical Studies is more beneficial pedagogically than the full-time one year option. If every Christian could take a year out to study full-time at Moore that would be the bomb! But not every Christian can manage that. Most could manage one evening a week over 7 weeks per subject. Thinking of theological study? Get your feet wet in this course!! Correspondence courses are also available for those outside Sydney.
Go check out the post from May – it has a cool letter Row wrote at the time.
Check out the new pimped out Moore College website for more info.
I’m slowly being coerced into doing a subject next term with a couple of friends.
I can’t see any good reasons for not doing it, although I’m a little weary about my previous studies history.
Props?!?!? What language are you speaking??
haha.
welcome back to the internet andy m!!
while you were gone, a whole new language has developed.
for “props” see
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=props
(***potential language warning***)
Is that the same language that includes such gems as “peeps” and “shout out” etc (sometimes combined in the one sentence e.g. “shout out to the peeps at XXX”)?
Can’t see what was wrong with English …
Oh yeah, and I forgot the particularly tasteful (not!) term that has crept into your lingo – “pimped” !?!?!? When I was a kid, that word had a particular meaning and I’m not sure it’s the same meaning you intend!!
haha. gen x are slowly becoming more and more conservative!! this is just what language does – it keeps morphing and changing.
and pimped??
it’s all about context.

word to the street homie
Well most gen-xers are now in their 40s or at least getting much, much closer to their 40s!! We’re not young peeps anymore homie!
What are you technically? You’d be right on the edge of X and Y wouldn’t you? What’s the cut off?
it depends who you ask.
i’ve seen the cut off point range from 77-83ish.
so i’m in the middle of that.
i think that’s right.
there’s things i’m def X about…
but lots of me is very much Y.
it’s good having a foot in both camps – i can complain about each of them then!!
So what aspects of you, other than using silly words, are “y”?
By the way, I’m not sure if you really have that much street cred if you have to look up an online urban lingo dictionary to get your groovy words!!! I know you’ll say you were just linking to it for my benefit, but you obviously knew where to find it prety quickly and I’d say you’ve used it before! Perhaps you have it handy right next to your Greek lexicon!
