As Comicon devotees descended on San Diego today (July 19), family members took us to the airport and we flew to London. For the next 140 days we will travel and stay in the UK, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Europe for nearly four months, followed by another month in NJ/NYC. We’ll return home in early December in time for Millie Christensen’s 90th birthday (Dec 16) and Christmas with the Christensen family.
Professor Rebecca Laird is on sabbatical this Fall to research and design a new pilgrimage course on Women in Christianity. Her plan is to visit and explore key historic sites and figures that mark women's contribution to Western Christianity, including: Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, Susanna Wesley of Epworth, Katharina Zell of Strasbourg, Catherine Booth of London.
Dr. Michael Christensen, concurrently, is on a writing-study-travel trip and has a couple of teaching gigs (in Oxford and Wales) along the way. He has a temporary faculty appointment at the Oxbridge C.S. Lewis Summer Institute and as Senior Fellow and Scholar in Residence at "The Kilns"—C. S. Lewis’s historic home in Oxford, now owned and operated by the C.S. Lewis Foundation.
Both Rebecca and Michael will take courses at Oxford University Summer School, visit sites in UK and Europe, go on a Luther Tour of Germany, and attend Wittenberg 2017 Summit--a three day international gathering of 500 church leaders to mark the 500th Anniversary of the “day that changed the world.”
