An International Breakfast

Eight people around the table from six countries. This is one of the pleasures of being at IBTS, getting to know good people from many countries and cultures.

On this morning eight of us sat at one table from six countries. Countries represented were:

Hungary

The Ukraine

The Netherlands

England

Lebanon

The USA

Somehow we didn't publish this in September and here it is February and we have had many more breakfasts (especially these last two weeks of PhD intensive study time) with even more nationalities present at the breakfast table. Once again some of these same people were back for good food and lots of talk. Sadly, David our Hungarian student was not able to continue in his studies and we all miss him everyday and wish him well in his work this year and his returning to his theological studies in Hungary next fall. Happily, we got to see most of the folk we have come to know and love in past years who are getting closer and closer to the day when they will be finished with those long dissertations!
This morning was one of the

last days for more than one or two of our 'foreign' students to be at breakfast with us. We will miss all the fun and laughter and the good stories and even the serious discussions we have had for the last two weeks. For us this is almost certainly our last time to have this experience since the seminary will be moving to Amsterdam in 2014 and our visas will not allow us to return here for the fall of 2013. But what wonderful memories we will have of the 'table fellowship' here on campus.
