Occasionally there is a special week here at the seminary and we have just finished one such week. This is the week when as many as possible of the Ph.

It was really nice to see some of the students who I already had worked with(long distance via the Internet) using the facilities of Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA. This fine library has a collection of books and journals which is very close to the same as ours here in Prague. They also make use of the same databases which we subscribe to. They were generous to a fault in allowing me to use their facilities at any time during the months we were back in the USA. Most exciting of all for me was to put faces to the names I had read only in e-mail.
