Elliot, how has your theological education and career shaped you?
“My theological education has shaped me to think about biblical, theological, and cultural issues with clarity and charity. It has in some situations challenged my previously held assumptions while also deepening my convictions about essential doctrines, and it has also taught me to understand others well before engaging in robust dialogue. It has taught me that the commands to love God and love our neighbours apply in every sphere of life”.
