Right that’s what I worked on in that project, but what kind of theologian does that make me? Systematic? Constructive? Pastoral? Practical? Philosophical? Etc

Oh, basically anything that needs teaching in my current role. Systematics, pastoral theology, homiletics, etc

My research is fairly interdisciplinary, place studies, decolonial thought, ecotheology, that general direction.

Oh, no, you misunderstood. The CBC will still be creating low budget shows, just SO MANY MORE of them.

people always stereotype Canadians as being polite, and its not true at all. We are passive-agressive weirdos who live in isolated weird places and the sooner we make peace with that the better

Canadian theological schools made out pretty well in this round. Atlantic, Heritage, Knox, VST, and Northwest, along with their collaborators, all landed multi-million dollar funding deals from Lilly.

Hahahah, at least part of that is a concern for job security but you're also not entirely wrong.

Say more about the mission part of that?

Depends who you ask, I guess. I have at least one degree in systematic theology, but I had a German student in my phd program inform me that what I was doing wasn't theology at all, so who knows?

Well, I'd never describe my work in those terms, but I've already established I don't know what I'm talking about. What gives the ecclesiology/missiology vibes?
