The Symposium

Today we had our symposium where everyone in the Azusa Pacific program shared what they had studied. We met in the old library at St. Mary's Cathedral, where such people as John Wesley and CS Lewis have spoken. Part of the symposium was a paper competition, the prize for which was 75 pounds. Christine's essay, "The Victorian Ideal of Womanhood" made it to the top five!

Yesterday we went to Christ Church early to wander the grounds and take some pictures, and Christine mentioned that something must be going on, because there were a lot of cars. When we went in for the service, we learned that last night was the induction ceremony for the new Archdeacon of Oxford, so we stayed for that. It was a really interesting experience. I love the formalities and traditions of the high church ceremonies.

We now have two days in which to wander Oxford, pack, and do some reading. It should be fun. We leave on Thursday and will see many of you soon.
