I still remember the day during my first year of seminary when our Director of Student Relations and Senior Placement at Princeton told us that we really shouldn’t transfer while in the ordination process if we could avoid it. I don’t remember the reasons that she gave us, but I do remember that transferring (especially as a Candidate) was not something that she recommended.
And now…here I am…in the process of trying to transfer as a Candidate from Kendall Presbytery to the Presbytery of San Francisco. It certainly isn’t ideal, but under the circumstances, it seemed like the best option.
What was I thinking in this photo taken on my graduation day from Princeton Seminary? Well, probably many things, but one of them was definitely, “Four years of seminary done – no more school for me!” It was a great feeling.
