The MSFL program hosted Dr. John Goldingay, professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, last September 22-23 in White Auditorium at SAU’s main campus. In his two-part lecture, Goldingay addressed the practical topics of prayer and memory as they pertain to the Book of Psalms.

In May of 2011, MSFL held an exclusive graduation ceremony for all twenty-nine of our students from all over the U.S. at SAU’s MICHINDOH Conference Center in Hillsdale, Michigan. Our commencement speaker was Dr. Robert Moore-Jumonville, MSFL professor of Christian Spirituality, who boldly challenged our graduates to seriously reflect on what it means to be a fool for Christ’s sake.

Last October 17 and 18, Dr. Miroslav Volf of Yale University engaged in a lively Muslim-Christian dialogue with Dr. Saeed Khan of Wayne State University. SAU’s Department of Theology along with the MSFL Program, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the President’s Office all collaborated in sponsoring this well-attended event.

Beginning this summer of 2012, our MSFL cohorts will have the opportunity of traveling to South America for a ten-day immersion experience in Guatemala. Our students stand to benefit from this great exposure while taking courses on “Social Justice” and “World Christian Spirituality.”
