The topic today was Pentecostalism and Dr. Bolger showed the class a movie that helped me understand better the modern roots of this movement. The Azusa Street Revival was [...]

As Dr. Bolger spoke about the Puritans, Presbyterians, and AnaBaptists today I was riveted to me seat. This brief history of the Radical Reformation according to our “Church Worksheet” was fascinating and it makes me want to research my roots. As an American Baptist I would like to trace my Denominational history and see what [...]

Today Dr. Bolger explained further the formation of the Lutheran Church as it pertained to Christian Community, Christian Mission, and Christian Leadership. The section on Christian Leadership sparked some good discussion in class amongst the students and Dr. Bolger. This subject has many implications into my own church experiences and I was glad that I [...]

Today seemed like a really long day in class. Dr. Bolger covered a lot of ground. We watched two movies and discussed two very different topics. The first topic was the New Monasticism movement that Shane Claiborne typifies. This was very new to me and interesting to know more about. [...]

Our class today listened to Bishop Graham Cray speak about Fresh Expressions in the United Kingdom in Payton 101. The new ecclesiological manifestations of Fresh Expression were fascinating. I wish that Graham would have expanded more on what these manifestations look like on the ground in the United Kingdom. Dr. Bolger spoke [...]

At the end of Dr. Bolger’s discussion today on Christianity in the 16th century it really struck me how horrible Christians were…and are. Christianity, as Dr. Bolger explained, has been a joint (and married together) operation of the Kingdom of God and the Church. He also mentioned that this has not always been [...]

Today we watched a movie about the foundations of the Eastern and Roman Orthodox churches. The movie was a bit dry, however it was rich in historical and current information that help to bring me into a better understanding of Orthodoxy. Dr. Bolger’s lecture was also interesting because he spoke briefly about Eastern [...]
