Apprenticeship

Christian Century, July 16, 1997 by L. Gregory Jones

In the Christian life, too, we do not need to try to do everything all at once. We can take one step at a time, through the guidance of others in the church who help nurture us and educate our desires. As we apprentice ourselves to others, and learn also to offer apprenticeship to others, we can discover (again?) the excitement and the passion for faithful living before God.

The author is L. Gregory Jones, dean and professor of theology at Duke University Divinity School.
