The Burr in the Burgh

Here I am teaching on a Sunday afternoon in Abekhan, Russia. My main series of lectures were on Christian Ethics. I spent the first half of the seminar describing the difference between justification and sanctification. And the last couple of days, I taught the Ten Commandments. Actually I only got through the first 6.

The young woman in orange you see assiduously scribbling notes in the front row is Gloria. She is a deaconess student at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN. She is from Tomsk, Russia and is doing her year-long internship at a Christian crisis pregnancy center in Novosibirsk, Russia.
