Thanks for your summary of the CTSA mtg and your thoughts about "worker theologians," Matt. I had a competing commitment, so I missed the session and appreciate your summary. I also find your idea of "worker theologians' quite provocative and exciting (a much better term than "independent contractors" or "independent scholars" (though I realize those terms might "count" with the IRS (whether that's good or bad, I don't know....). I hope this conversation will continue tire(also for those who step out of academic to "retire" but are not uninterested in continuing to have a theological voice/community.
