Welcome HDS Methodists!

While this site is very much a work in progress, you will find the basics up and running. The site is designed with you in mind; it is an online location where you can ask questions and share insights on any topic (be it about HDS, Methodism, ordination, something you read in the news, or any upcoming school-related or personal event that you wish to draw our attention to). Really...it is that open! The goal is to have a website where HDS Methodists can communicate with one another when our busy schedules do not allow for personal contact. So please feel free to begin posting and using this site to your advantage (and please suggest any recommendations!). Also, in order to post you need to be listed as an "Author". I sent out a link to all HDS Methodists inviting you to join as an Author, but if you have not received such an email, or would like me to resend it, simply contact me at:
dcochran@mail.harvard.edu
and let me know that you are interested. Thank you!

Greetings HDS Methodists!

Welcome to the newly launched blogspot for the HDS Methodists!

My hope is that this site may be used as a means to notify one another about upcoming events, share our reflections and observations, share our joys and/or concerns that we would like lifted up in prayer, or to ask any questions of your peers about HDS, ordination requirements, writing sermons, etc
.

Harvard Divinity School is a wonderful institution with a plethora of opportunities to explore and worship with other traditions, and to critically examine our own. As a nondenominational divinity school, however, it is up to us as students to build and maintain a community in our tradition. The foundation of the HDS Methodist community is the Wednesday morning Covenant Group that meets at 8am in Divinity Hall. We hope that you are able to join us for these friendly and informal gatherings. Of course, 8am is an unthinkable meeting time for some among us. Perhaps this site will provide a new medium for all to gather in a 21st century version of the Wesleyan societies.

Please feel free to offer posts of any appropriate material and, by doing so, help get this site off and running! God Bless
