Editor's Note
The reflections of professional religionists, like the beliefs and practices of people of faith, are shaped in the evolving contexts of particular sub-cultures and religious/philosophical formations. This faculty exhibits healthful differences in framing the relationship of transcendence and history, of the esoteric and the exoteric. E pluribus unum. We salute the free agency of intellect, spirit, and imagination playing its drama upon the stage of what determinists figure as the social construction of reality.
In this smallest department in the College of Arts and Sciences we honor, as well, the integrity of the religious traditions that enrich each other and their adherents as they jostle in a shrinking world. Our grad students flourish under more personalized supervision. Our undergrad majors have doubled in the past ten years. We continue to prove our market value.
Credit the leadership our chair, Carl Evans, has given us for the past twelve years. Evans will step down in June 2007, and that leadership will be missed.
