A Reminder to Our Part-time Residents
------------------------------------------
Conference on Ministries
March 2-4, 2007
As part of preparation for the Conference on Ministries, we are asking for your assistance in welcoming guests who may become your fellow students and friends. We will be using every dorm room that is not normally occupied by a part-time resident (PTR) on the nights of Thursday March 1, Friday March 2, Saturday March 3, and possibly Sunday, March 4 to house visitors.
We ask that each of you take a moment to ensure that your room is clean/picked up/swept and all of your belongings are stored in the closet or a dresser drawer no later than noon on the day you normally leave. Please remember, you are solely responsible for the safety of your belongings. If there are things you would rather not leave in the room, please be sure to bring them home with you when you leave.
We realize that leaving by noon may be an inconvenience to students with morning classes, but the extra time will allow us to prepare the rooms for those who will be attending the conference. If you would be willing to pitch in and make up the bed for a guest before you leave, please let one of us know and linens will be delivered to the room earlier in the week. In past years, current students have left notes of welcome for the guests. We encourage you, if you feel so inclined, to do so, as this has always been well received and leaves a warm impression on our guests.
If you are a Monday PTR, please be aware that there may be a bag of linens in the room when you come in. Please leave the bag in the room. Someone will be by on Monday March 5 to pick up and clean the linens before 4:30 PM.
If you have any questions, please call Peg Carroll at 617-964-1100 x 294 or Amelia O'Dowd at x 261.
We appreciate your cooperation, and are most grateful for your help as we prepare for the prospective students who are scheduled to stay overnight.
A BIG thanks from the Admissions and Housing Offices!!!!
Peg, Darrick and Amelia

Professor Mark S. Burrows Appointed "Henry Luce III Fellow in Theology" for 2007-08
--------------------------------------------------
Dr. Mark S. Burrows, Professor of the History of Christianity, has been awarded the Luce Fellowship in Theology for the coming academic year. Each year this program selects "distinguished scholars from the various theological disciplines whose work has provided theological studies with fresh insight, strong leadership, and significant contributions."
As a Luce Fellow, Dr. Burrows will be granted a year-long sabbatical during the upcoming academic year in order to pursue his current research, resulting in a book tentatively entitled Untamed Wisdom: The Poetics of Desire and the Renewal of Theology as an Art. The project brings together his research interests in poetics and mysticism, exploring mysticism as a way of knowing in pre-modern Christian theology and the manner in which this tradition continued to flower, with the rise of modernity, among the literary arts.
Dr. Burrows will be teaching courses related to this research during the 2007 Summer Semester at the Kirchliche Hochschule in Wuppertal, Germany. The fellowship will also enable him to lecture and collaborate with other scholars interested in questions raised by this research in Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Amplify Their Call!

More than forty prospective students are packing their bags, saying their prayers, and heading to the Hill for this year's Conference on Ministries, Friday and Saturday March 2-3, 2007. We need your help to make their time at Andover Newton a success.
By volunteering for the Conference on Ministries, you not only get the satisfaction of meeting incoming students before they ever appear in the Funny Book, but you are also welcome to join us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. We'll even reimburse you for mileage and tolls. And it's fun, too!
There are many ways to help, so choose one, two, or ten of the options below and e-mail Peg Carroll or call (mcarroll@ants.edu or 617-964-1100 ext. 294) to let us know what you'd like to do.

- Hang up balloons on Friday morning, March 2.
- Lead a campus tour from 10:30-11 a.m. on Friday, March 2

- Join the fun on Friday, March 2 at 7 p.m. playing games in Sturtevant Hall or watching a movie in Stoddard Hall

About 15 young men from Morehouse College will be visiting ANTS as their first stop in a tour of seminaries in the East. They will be spending Sunday afternoon exploring Boston, and hope to bring current ANTS students with them to show off the city's best places.

Compassionate Visit II - Saturday, March 3
------------------------------------------
March 3, 2007
9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Peck Room
ANTS and the BTI are sponsoring a session, the Compassionate Visit II, on Saturday, March 3, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Peck Room on the campus of Andover Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, MA.
This session is free and open to the public.
There are two goals for this session:
1) to initiate visits to the sick, dying or shut-ins and their families or to make existing visits more productive
2) to initiate dialogue between health care professionals and the spiritual leaders of our communities.
To that end, the Rev. Dr. Ronald J. Hindelang, Clinical Pastoral Education Supervisor and Staff Chaplain at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and Dr. John R. Siberski S.J., M.D., board certified in internal medicine, psychiatry and geriatric psychiatry with primary interest in dementias, particularly Alzheimer's Disease, and end-of-life issues, will be presenting information drawn from their years of education and experience with the hope of making each of us better informed, better visitors.
For more information and if you have specific questions/issues you would like to have addressed by either Dr. Hindelang or Dr. Siberski, or if you need additional information,
please contact
