To be perfectly honest, what profoundly does touch me are not the posters…although there are certainly some number that I do follow with a good degree of interest, such as yours…it is, however, the readers who read without commenting. A thread may have 10 or 12 people posting but it may have 2000 or 3000 views or more. I find myself writing mostly with them in mind.
As for rejection…well, that is hardly of concern to me at this advanced stage of my life. If I were in a community of my peers, I would be concerned…but that is not to be found here.
You have studied theology. An incoming first year student, who is a good student, doesn’t even begin to comprehend what they do not know. The smartest discover that very quickly and then those who are the most fortunate have a wonderful doktorvater to relate to – and in turn for him…or her now…to mentor them as students. Years later, when they are writing their doctoral thesis, then they are ready to begin to really talk and to do theology.
:yup:
