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!

As the year draws to a close...

The 2009-2010 academic year was a great one for us HDS Methodists. We had enough interest from our enthusiastic first-year class and enough returning second and third year students to reinstate the weekly Covenant Group meetings. Through our early Wednesday morning meetings we made new friends with whom to share our joys and concerns, friends we now meet for coffee in between classes and friends we work closely with on other committees and service organizations. With your help we will continue and grow the HDS Methodist presence on campus next year and continue to "strengthen the bonds that unite us."

At this time of year, I want to wish you all Good Luck! Sometimes that seems to be all we can say to one another :-) Good luck on final exams, final papers, job applications, moving, summer language study, CPE, continuing the steps of ordination, travel, preaching, and welcoming new life. God be with you in all that you do.

Keep in touch over the summer...check the blog once in awhile. We HDS Methodists will surely be meeting for Covenant Group next year but there may be more going on...new activities, new opportunities. So check back in and offer up your opinions as we discuss where to take the HDS Methodists in the 2010-2011 academic year!
