The original intention of my calling was not Change. ...

Students who have worked as part-time students know that it is not easy to study theology while serving in the factory. This is different from the situation when studying the Master of Divinity program full-time. Although there were more subjects to study and homework to complete at that time, the whole person was in a state of study and could concentrate on reading without any distractions.
