Forming In and For Wisdom: Introducing the Greystone MAP

Welcome to Greystone Conversations and the first episode in this special series focused on explaining and commending an exciting new initiative at Greystone Theological Institute, which in one way is rather unique and in other ways is deeply traditional. And as you have perhaps come to expect, or at least we hope you have come to expect, the combination of something that is new with something that is in fact very old—making old things new—is very much a key concern for the Greystone Way.

We can hardly think of a better example of this effort and this interest than the new Greystone initiative program we are able to discuss starting in this episode and for several episodes to come. That is the Mechanical Arts Program (MAP) at Greystone. Right from the start, we're going to want to clarify what we do and do not mean by mechanical arts, but that will become clear enough as we discuss and explain this fascinating, very old, and yet very timely way of looking at faithfulness, wisdom, and the call that we all have to thoughtful engagement with one another and with the world of God's creation and providence.

For today’s Greystone Conversations episode, Dr. Mark A. Garcia is joined by Mr. Michael Sacasas and Mr. Joshua Klein, both fellows at Greystone who will be instrumental in the apprenticeship mode of the MAP.
