Allen Doyle, M.A. Religion & Environment
The opportunity to work in a behavioral ecology lab, conduct water chemistry analyses in China, and serve as a laborer on various local farms are likely not the first things that come to mind when thinking about the typical "seminary experience." However, since moving up Monteagle Mountain, I have been afforded these opportunities and more. Having the full resources of a University at your disposal, this transdisciplinary experience has been both constructive and transformative as I pursue a career in academia. My learning is not limited to these old stone buildings but truly begins the moment I step out of these doors. I learned Systematic Theology with local homeowners as we installed roofs together. I learned Old Testament with truck drivers late at night at a local dive joint. I studied the Doctrine of Creation practicing contemplative exercises on the bluff. And the list goes on and on.
