This was a pretty basic day for us. Catherine went to daycare. Mark went to school: cricket and swimming after. Tracy did some stuff around the house and in town (shopping, in particular). I was at Stellenbosch and Lynedoch today.
At Lynedoch, I had an interesting meeting with two students who are interested in pursuing a type of Sustainability Scorecard like I implemented at Calvin College. I'm not sure where that will go yet: the process is in the hands of the students. But, it could end up being very rewarding to be involved with the "green" students at Stellenbosch.
Tracy and I met the pastor of the Stellenbosch United Church today, simply to introduce ourselves. David is an exceedingly gentle man with a very interesting history in South Africa.
Tracy was notified today that she was selected to participate in an international conference entitled "Public Theology: The South African Experience" in June 2009. The conference is sponsored by the Nagel Institute. This will be a great opportunity for her to develop one of her research project ideas. The conference will last two weeks and will take place in both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
