Springfied Church Member Attends Bethany Academy Course
Terry Link, TRIM student and member of the Springfield First Church of the Brethren, participated in a Brethren Academy On-site course, The Gospel of John, at Bethany Theological Seminary, January 11-15. 2010. Dan Ulrich, a professor at the Seminary, was the instructor for the course.
Ulrich states, “It was a joy to study the Gospel of John with a group of students who obviously love the Bible, love Christ, and are eager to understand both more fully. The heart of the course was to work together on researching several passages that could each be the basis for a sermon or Bible study. After reviewing our questions about the passage, students volunteered to do additional research and report back to the class. This was definitely an experience where we all taught one another.”
