Students are immersed in examination preparations. One down, several to go! Teachers are under scrutiny too as the achievements of our students reflect our endevours to train, educate and teach them. So it remains a stressful time for all Seminarians involved.
The old myth of the falling Jacaranda petals having decisive character in the examination outcomes is no longer comforting since its fallacy has been proven beyond doubt by the ongoing demythologization practiced at Seminary. Enlightenment has caught up with us here too.
Both Juniors and Seniors are being tested in the biblical languages. The first group is doing Grammar, the second are already into translation of the biblical text. The beginners are coming to grips with the introductions to the Old Testament. In this quarter the large prophets were introduced to them: Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. The participants of the main course are doing Exegesis of Genesis with P. Don Cario and also Pastoral Theology. In Symbolics it's Luthers Catechism for the Beginners under the tutelage of P. Mntambo. They also did Homiletics with Dr. Glen Thomas, Exegesis of Jeremiah with Prof. Dr. Andrew Bartelt and Missions in Africa with Dr. Reijo Arkilla. All together a busy Quarter and high time for a holiday and relaxation with the family and loved ones back home.
