One chapter subheading alone rings the bell of reflection during my day:  “Thinking is not optional:  It is part of your Christian identity.” It is not just that our university is starting a Quality Enhancement project related to our accreditation, and that project focuses on identity as a key component of Christian servant-leadership development.  It has everything to do with the deeper purposes of my teaching, so it is indeed a passionate proposition.  I hope my students come to share in it.
