“Learning” [end of college – wrap up]
A journalist (professor dad),
Did book about a route which had
A happy ending for his age,
But threatened is as learning stage.For platforms shift and change in time –
Take churches – crossing or the brine
Shrank down to cabins in the woods,
Where later, larger buildings stood.But roles of churches changed as well –
On “Cure of Souls” the curtains fell,
While CPE arose to take
The task which Pastors don’t forsake.The teacher also works away
Within the church, from ancient day;
With scholars training clergy-types
Quite practically – some get it right.Evangelism – “Come on in” –
Needs guidance when one first begins;
Apostles crossing culture’s lines,
Instruction need to make out fine.Prophetic insight – always good
For guidance, is now understood
To be of help – community
Can flounder in uncertainty.How did he write this worthy tome?
He had a team, sought others, roamed
Around and sought to give a voice
To thinkers facing scholars’ choice.For learning is disrupted now –
Folks scramble as their means allow,
To find a way to shift and change,
Thus learning’s ways to rearrange.Thanks Lord for this.
