Writing as Ministry: I
often hear (and even
say) that it can be difficult to make connections between the material we study
in seminary and our own spirituality. I
make those connections and deepen my own spirituality through a writing
ministry I would like to share with my friends at YDS. I write and send out e-mail meditations
(called "Holy Ordinary") each weekday morning. The meditations (based on the day's readings
from the Daily Office) are very short--a couple of paragraphs--including a
short Scripture passage and then a metaphorical connection to something in the
everyday world. (At the risk of hearing
"You get what you pay for..." a 'subscription' to the meditations is free.) To get on the list, you need only e-mail me
at my personal address (thenewmead@yahoo.com). Since the meditations are written each
weekday, they often reflect ideas we have studied, especially in theology and
Scripture classes. You can get a look at
the meditations at the website (www.holyordinary.com). A collection of the meditations is also in my
book, "Holy Ordinary: Finding God in the Everyday." You can find it in the Divinity bookstore. If any of this interests you, or if you'd
like to talk about this or other ways to explore writing as a ministry and/or
as devotional practice, please e-mail me (thenewmead@yahoo.com). I welcome any response or any opportunity to
talk with you about it. Thanks! Carol Mead
Tuesday, December 11th we are having a conversation
about the subject of Speaking In
Tongues. Have you ever had this
experience? Do you know others that have? What is your thinking about speaking
in tongues? Is it genuine? Is it an experience you feel you are missing? Did
you know that Paul talks about speaking in tongues in positive and negative
ways? Is it just a Christian thing? In
the interest of sincere research on the subject we would like you to join us in

Dear
Divinity School, Each Christmas, we present a gift of money to the members of
the Divinity School custodial, dining hall, grounds, and
security staff, as one way of expressing
our appreciation for the important
service they offer to our community each day. This gift of money is based on your
individual contributions and is presented to our colleagues on the last day of
work before the Christmas holiday. If
you would like to contribute to the gift, please make your donation in cash to
me. If it is necessary for you to write
a check, you may do so (make it payable to "Dale Peterson"), but a cash
contribution is preferred. You may hand
your contribution to me directly, or leave it for me at my office. We will collect contributions from Friday,
November 30th through Friday, December 14th. This expression of appreciation
to these friends and colleagues is an enduring and heartfelt tradition of the

Needed/Lost and Found:
Lost Amber Earring: I lost one hanging amber earring somewhere between
inside and outside the great hall on this past Wednesday afternoon. If anyone has any information, please
share. This earring was part of a
precious set that I have had for years. Thank
you so much, Kathleen (kathleen.turner@yale.edu)
Metal Detector Needed: Does anyone happen to have a
metal detector? One of Bev's friends dropped his wedding ring and needs help
finding it. He knows the approximate
area where he dropped the ring, so it should only take a few minutes to locate
it once we get going. Thanks, Dave
Miller (dave.miller@yale.edu)
Employment:
Catsitter Needed: I am looking for a (paid) catsitter
to care for my cats in my apartment over the holidays. It's for two different
week-long stints: December 24-Jan 1, Jan 6-11.
If you are a cat-lover with transportation to the Westville
neighborhood, who would like a little extra cash, please let me know! Thanks, Susan Olson
Teach a College Seminar at
Yale: The
Yale College Council (YCC) committee is working towards the expansion of the
undergraduate residential college seminar program. The YCC has discovered that many graduate
students aren't aware that they have the opportunity to teach residential
college seminars to Yale undergrads (for a stipend of $9,380 per semester). To teach the seminars, you must either be an
ABD doctoral student or a graduate student in your final year of study. Applications to teach are due approximately
six to eight months before the course would be scheduled to begin (i.e.
applications for next September are due in January). Information on course proposals and the
application is available online at www.yale.edu/collegeseminar. (Also, Danielle Tumminio, aka me, your fun
and friendly Q-Source Editor, will be teaching a college seminar in the spring
and would be happy to answer any questions about the application process. Just send an e-mail to danielle.tumminio@yale.edu).
