Just returned from the meeting at Duke University. I always enjoy the joint meeting with the Wesleyan Theological Society. Corky and I drove to Durham on Wednesday evening and the rest is a blur! The program highlights, at least for me, were:- hearing Jurgen Moltman
- a panel discussion on peacemaking with Stanley Hauerwas
- Randy Maddox discussing Wesley's relationship with science
- Terry Cross' presidential address
- Corky's presentation
The event highlights, as always, were seeing old friends and colleagues, some of whom I don't see but once a year [Frank Macchia, Allan Anderson, Blaine, Charette, Jennie Evert Powers, Mel Robeck, David Reed, et al], making new friends [Terry LeBlanc], meeting scholars I haven't met before [again, Terry LeBlanc, Joel Halldorf, Bernie van der Walle].
The good and frightening (and humbling) news is that I was elected 2nd Vice President of the Society. This means that in 2010, when I am 1st Vice President I will plan the program which will be at North Central Bible College in Minneapolis and in 2011 I will be President, delivering the presidential address.

Kim, CONGRATULATIONS! It is an honor well deserved that you have been selected by your peers to this high posiion. You know... I just remarked to someone the other day... I don't see how Corky and Kim do all the things they do and keep these blogs so current. I mean it. I just don't have the stamina that you two show. God Bless you both for you Christian compassion for a lost world.
Congratulations on your appointment.
Kim,

Wayul, Dr Kim,
Remember that I knew you when.....
