N/A Gone Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 After finally finishing my Filioque paper, I got my letters of recommendation, my app and a special letter to Fr. Pattee all together and applied for the FUS distance program. I am very nervous and hope I get accepted. I have wanted to be part of this program ever since I converted at my protestant bible college. Prayers please. btw, I gave up phatmass while finishing the paper as to not get distracted. But I am back now. Woot-woot is in order.
CatherineM Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Lots of prayers. I remember when I was sweating out getting in the MTS program at Newman. I'm sure they will snap you up.
Luthien Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 If you ever need a place to stay, L_D and I have plenty of room! Bring your wife!!
N/A Gone Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 I appreciate the offer!!!! Phatty and Brother Adam helped me with the recommendation forms. I am really, really nervous on this. I want it so bad. Tell L_D hi for me, we have not talked in a while. btw, this is for the Master's distance program. I have an undergrad in theology and Gen Ministry from a protestant bible college. The issue of concern is that my grades took a nose dive after my conversion because of the anti-catholic nature of the professors. I wrote Fr. pattee a 2 page single space letter explaining the situation and my passion for theology. I also attached a 39 page filioque paper I recently finished. I am just nervous for the wait.
rkwright Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 rev good to see you around! I hope it goes well and you get into FUS. After the masters, then what? Teaching?
N/A Gone Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 I would love to teach. I was a TA for 3 years, I have owned my own company for 3 years so I love speaking in front of crowds. My dream is to be a professor of theology at a school for 30 years or so. Publish a couple books and be a beacon of orthodoxy to create legit change and devotion to faith. A big thing right now is that with a protestant undergrad I am not getting many offers to work in a church situation. So I need the catholic education as well. WOW I hope FUS accepts me.
jeffpugh Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Woot Woot! Welcome back... dude... I'd so want you to be my prof I hope FUS accepts you.
N/A Gone Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 You think I would make a good prof? Thanks!!!!
Archaeology cat Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Welcome back! I'll be praying for your application.
XIX Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I'll pray that you get to fulfill your dream of playing FUS-ball!
N/A Gone Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 hehe, I get it. Fussball. It took me a moment. WOW.
CatherineM Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Maybe you should give Scott Hahn a call. He knows what it is like making that transfer from Protestant credentials to Catholic ones. Doesn't he teach at Franciscan?
N/A Gone Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 He does teach there. I am not sure if he fields calls. Rumor has it the average wait period is a month. So I am just gonna be nervous and jittery about this for a month.

Part of the distance program requires me to come on campus for a 2-3 week class or something. (not sure on details yet) being that I am not sure what the phat-one would be doing at that time I might be hanging out with you and the wifey. Dude, i am nervous and I hope I get accepted. I think I am getting anxiety over this.
N/A Gone Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 Not too many "woot-woot"s until I get accepted. I am legitly worried that I will not be. But that could be the inner emo boy. Just pray for me to get accepted please.
