Interview with Jim Lawrence, Dean of the Center for Swedenborgian Studies

Описание: Rev. Dr. James Lawrence, Dean of the Center for Swedenborgian Studies and Assistant Professor of Spirituality and Historical Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, began his journey training in economic strategies for the developing worlds due to an overwhelming concern for suffering in the world. It was also during these young adult years that he lost his faith and through theodical concerns concluded the universe was heartless and pointless. That changed before he finished college through a return to spirituality and new belief in meaning and purpose. This perspective led him to seminary and ministry, where he spent 17 years in parish ministry in rural, suburban and urban settings. He also worked simultaneously in publishing ministries, contributing along the way as publisher, editor and author to more than 30 works.
