MATC Partimers....

Well of course, after 12 years of post-graduate education, a BA Northwestern (Buddhism), BA and MA Cambridge University (Theology), MDiv (Ministry - three year degree) at Univ Chicago and a PhD UW- Madison in the old and once great Buddhist Studies Dept. (7 years) (We had so many Asian and American grad students in the good old days). As Geshe Sopa once said, one should get training in Buddhism for truth, not for a job. I took that to heart. I remain in town, for, unlike the Buddha, I cannot bear to leave my children in divorce, for a job. Sorry! Family values here! I could be working at Carolina Coastal College, sitting on the beach, full-time, healthcare, oh! The works! But I am not, because of my children in town. When they graduate high school, then I am off to India! For now, I have loved serving the really fun and outspoken MATC students. Too bad! The administration is so way uncooler than its own students! Barhorst has persuaded me to just look around online. Online is the future, like it or not. Hey! The telegraph is gone! So is the face-to-face teacher, like it not! MATC simply fails to innovate with these outrageous high salaries for out-dated teaching techniques. I hope to make that all the more clear through my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/MATCPartTimeUnion Enjoy! Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, dabbler, world philosophies and religions, especially dabbling at Buddhism
