NEWS: BRIDGE
HUGSR Bridge
Current Issue
Summer/Fall 2008 Issue
In Memphis, as in so many cities along the Mississippi River, the bridges across the river have historical, cultural and economic impact, not only locally but nationally as well. The Memphis bridges have connected East and West for over a century. Repairs or accidents on one of the bridges create immediate problems and remind us of how much we depend on them. They have been there so long we easily forget the sacrifice and labor of the bridge builders.
The Bridge serves as Harding Graduate School’s quarterly newsletter for reasons far beyond, but not unrelated to, our calling Memphis home. This school has served as a bridge in so many ways. For some of us who came here right out of undergraduate school, it was a bridge into ministry and adult life. For those who came here after some years of ministry, it was a bridge to a different level of ministry. For the second-career students, it was a bridge into full-time ministry.
Possibly the most obvious bridge one would expect from a graduate school like HUGSR spans our ignorance and knowledge of the Word, ourselves and the world. Feature articles in each issue of The Bridge will reflect on topics such as the bridges that must be built between now and eternity, the Word and the human heart, the text and the world, the Old and New Testament, our heritage and present piety, the church and contemporary culture, and each other in the church.
The Bridge itself bridges the work of training ministers at the Graduate School with both the friends who support that work and future students who hope to be transformed by that work.
Two millennia ago, a new order was given that we will continue to live under until the Lord returns again. As Christ has become our bridge, so our living message of Christ is a bridge and our purpose is to build that bridge. We devote ourselves to building the kingdom with God's help and to His glory. In doing so, we become bridges of God to our neighbors, to another generation and to people of other nations.
