Today at lunch, Dr. Gayne Anacker came and sat down at the table with Jonathan, Daniel and I. I had never met him before and had only heard his name mentioned once or twice. he was so kind and friendly. his words really encouraged me because I had been feeling rather depressed that I don’t seem to be able to contribute orally to philosophical and theological discussions. He told me that he’s sure that I contribute in my own way when its the right time.
I didn’t know that he was the founder of the Christian Community College in Redlands! I think its pretty amazing how someone who seems to have a lot of prestige can still be humble and welcoming to others.
