My personal interests include C. S. Lewis, his circle, and China. Wheaton has presented me with numerous opportunities for travel and service over the years, including England (nine times) and Russia (two times), but the most life-changing has been sabbaticals (1989 & 1995) and summers teaching in China (2002 and 2005).
