I agree that most of the classes are offered because there is someone to teach them. In a former life I taught a class on "Using Computers" and while I was initially asked to teach it, I was able to continue teaching until I ran out of time. <snip> > There's also a disturbing trend in our nation toward a strictly emotional > experience of Christianity, as opposed to scholarly knowledge. I agree. As a Lutheran I do believe in an individuals interpretation of scripture, but it needs to be done in a intellectual setting not an emotional one. Most fundamentalist teaching about Christianity is not.

The pay is not too bad and you get to setup the course structure. Go for it. -- DeWayne Townsend Cooper _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
