the primary reason for which a fellow student and I trekked the 408 miles upcoast, was the special session dedicated to an assessment and appreciation of the career of my academic adviser at Duke, Prof. David Steinmetz. Many of his current and former students and colleagues were present--clearly a critical mass sufficient to justify Richard Muller's identification of a schola Steinmetziana moderna (a.k.a. the "Duke Mafia"), despite the repeated demurals of said school's namesake. It was an honor to be a part of the group this weekend and a deeply satisfying experience to see my teacher honored in such august company.

Back from Philly
I got back from Philadelphia last night after a very enjoyable trip to the American Historical Association/American Society of Church History annual meeting. The highlight of the event, and 
the primary reason for which a fellow student and I trekked the 408 miles upcoast, was the special session dedicated to an assessment and appreciation of the career of my academic adviser at Duke, Prof. David Steinmetz. Many of his current and former students and colleagues were present--clearly a critical mass sufficient to justify Richard Muller's identification of a schola Steinmetziana moderna (a.k.a. the "Duke Mafia"), despite the repeated demurals of said school's namesake. It was an honor to be a part of the group this weekend and a deeply satisfying experience to see my teacher honored in such august company.
