I've been absent from this blog for a while, for good reason! Here's a quick update on what's been shakin'
1. Been completing my Christology and Church History essays. For the former, I explored Barth's theology. It was fascinating how he thought "outside the box", and essentially reorganised systematic theology as we know it. For the former, I explored the events surrounding and leading up to the synod of Dort, where the Arminians were charged with heresy by the Calvinists. It was an interesting exploration that I'm still continuing - simply because it really goes deeper than "do we have free will"?
2. I've been busy with my medical elective at the Center for Community Child Health. I really thank God that I've had the opportunity to sink my teeth into a real public health project - a fairly major one too! On top of that, the clinics I've been attending, split between Developmental Pediatrics and Adolescent health, have been fascinating and really interesting, in that they combine the best of two worlds - clinical medicine and social medicine.
3. I'm getting reading for a summer intensive subject called Adolescent International Health. At the moment I'm wondering whether to put my Masters of Public Health on hold, and instead use the subject for credit towards a G.Dip in Adolescent Health and Welbeing. I would love to do the former, but the fact that a fair bit has to be done on campus is a bit of a deal breaker.
