Much of my education was conducted in this way, outside of the official system, talking with my 1st year tutor (who became my friend), or listening to dc's tapes, or talking with Christians from my college, who were always much more literate and serious than the average English undergrad. The actual offical lectures etc. were often poor fare compared to a long talk with someone who had read The Bible looking for serious answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
