Aging Ministry Accreditation Crusade Update No. 5
Initial 50+ Religious Learning Center Leadership Email Follow Up
All mailings to the 50+ Religious Learning Center Leadership have been completed. Initial follow up by New Beginning has been outstanding and we are only half way thru the email follow up list!
How sweet it is?
A couple of replies which I am sure made God’s happy as well as myself follow:

Thank you, Bob, for the book you sent me - and for this helpful email.
I agree with you that aging ministry is an important - and growing - opportunity for service.
It is our faculty that decides what sorts of new degree programming we offer at Columbia.
But you have written at a good time because the faculty is considering a range of new potential options.I am happy to bring your suggestion forward and stress its importance. You know, I’m sure, how very slowly academic deliberation happens! So, a final decision will not be made for some time - probably two years. But I can assure you that I will bring this to the attention of the faculty.I am grateful for your important ministry.
Best wishes to you,
Leanne Van Dyk, PresidentColumbia Theological Seminary

Bob, Thanks so much for your note and copy of your book and offer of collaboration. It's good to know AU folks continue to make a difference for Christ and the Kingdom. I'm sharing your book and note with the Rev. Dr. MaryAnn Hawkins, Dean of our School of Theology and Christian Ministry for her review and thoughts.
Thanks again.
Blessings,
John
