This class has made a huge impact on my life this semester. I attended a Christian high school and my faith has been stretched since coming to college. This class has been a tremendous stretching experience. I feel that this class has been a sacred place; I find it interesting that the class meets once a week, it feels like church. It is a sacred set apart time for people to come together and take in the same information and see how it speaks to them.
It has been astonishing to see how the topics covered each class have spoken so directly into my life. It is almost amusing at times. The night before we watched Spirited Away a friend had asked me why I have such a prejudice against Japanese culture and anime. The film was spoken of respectfully by a man who I admire and trust. It was a beautiful picture of community. Community is the goal of church and I feel that the brothers and sisters in Christ who I have in the class have the opportunity to speak truth to me through the lectures and the class forum.
The class has been such a wonderful encouragement and a great, at times difficult experience.
