Description / Abstract
Gary Sivewright First let me state that my discipline is Christian Education with a specific focus on youth ministry. I really did nott know that going in. I think I was just following my heart and my head came much later. This I did know—I owed a lot to the church. Being the only child of a single mother, the church supplied much more to me than I would ever be able to repay. More than the Bible, men and women of the church taught me social graces, public speaking, athletic skills, choral music, party planning, dating etiquette, leadership dynamics, study habits, and most importantly, they showed me Jesus in flesh and bones. They were, for all intents and purposes, my family. While working through all the vocational possibilities during my first two years of college, a religious education major was created and I jumped at the opportunity. I wish I could say that I heard a voice from heaven or saw handwriting on the wall, but I did not experience anything quite that dramatic. Instead there was this gnawing sense that I wanted to be as important in the life of some teen as those many adults, both youth pastors and laypeople, had been in my life. I have been doing some form of youth ministry ever since. Just as I graduated from college, Nazarene Theological Seminary created a degree in Religious Education so that seemed like the next natural step. Seventeen years later, George Peabody College, the education school for Vanderbilt, partnered with Scarritt Seminary in Nashville, TN to create a doctorate in Religious Education. Twelve of us were accepted into the program. Two years later Scarritt folded and the Didache: Faithful Teaching 9:1 (Summer 2009) ISSN: 15360156 (web version) – http://didache.nts.edu 2 program closed behind us. Vanderbilt kept its commitment to us and to this day there are twelve and only twelve with an Ed. D in Religious Education from Vanderbilt University.
