Description
While in the midst of frantically studying for my comprehensive examinations, I received an opportunity to submit a paper for a conference in Oxford, England. The timing was terrible, and I had no funding so it would be expensive (and besides, what business does a small town Minnesota boy have in Oxford?!). For those reasons, I shot them my wildest idea: "Paul Tillich, Salvation, and Big, Unnecessary, Crazy, Travel Adventure." To my horror, they accepted my proposal and I was then forced to write the paper, fly to England for a extraordinarily wonderful conference, then stop in Iceland on my return voyage for a brief hike in the highlands. Sometimes a wild opportunity deserves a wild swing.
Here's the paper I presented, if you're curious: https://www.academia.edu/8335044/Paul_Tillich_Salvation_and_Big_Unnecessary_Crazy_Travel_Adventure_Reading_Copy_
