Ties that bind
We are now at the University of Shandong at Weihai. Teaching conditions are less favorable here than they are in Beijing, but relationships draw us. Likely, we'll spend more time here next summer than the single week we have this year.
We are particularly fond of the workers at the Weihai Church (see above), and Joe would like more time with them so he could help with their work. Their theology is far more rigid than mine, but these are very good people, folks who've let goods and kindred go so they could share their faith.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
