They say that "pure science or research" is not necessarily about seeking a defined answer to a narrow question, but about exploration for the sake of - for the joy of - new discoveries.
My own studies at CHS have followed much the same pattern, setting a kettle of ingredients on the stove which at first seem random or rote, but which soon are transformed into the most amazing elixir in the heat of the classroom.
"Now is the time and Cherry Hill Seminary is the place," read a post on Facebook last week, sharing a link to our fall courses.
But the same ones of us who love to learn, feel compelled to work in our communities, and want to improve our knowledge and skills, we are so darned busy that we can barely squeeze in anything else.
Still, this is the time and place for expanding your personal boundaries, empowering yourself, stretching to a new place you hadn't realized possible before.
Learning at CHS has become part of my regular life flow. Occasionally, I will take a semester off, but then I can hardly wait to get back into the routine of new challenges, the excitement of feeling more alive in the process.
One more thing - do your friends and contacts know about CHS? We find that the best promotion is word of mouth and online. Unfortunately, a great many people still have not heard of CHS, or they think that they cannot attend, assuming we are site-based or only a graduate program. You can help keep CHS thriving by sharing what you receive from us with your own network. At least some of your friends will be grateful to find out.
