Dr Mouw has been a faithful servant of the legacy called Fuller Seminary. Not only did he extend the leadership of David Hubbard but he added his own creative hand to the canvas that is being painted. Dr Labberton now stands on the shoulders of Ockenga, Carnell, Hubbard and Mouw. He inherits a canvass whose base coat and background provides guiding principals, values and mission, but a canvas that needs a significant renewing of its foreground. He along with the faculty, students, trustees and church need to reshape and redirect old energies to new approaches to professional education. The greatest challenge facing Fuller is the challenge of medicine, business, law or seminary education. Using the old canvas of "graduate eduction" has left business, medicine, law and the seminary educating from a model that has "failed" the church, business, law and medicine. It does not produce leaders skilled enough to serve, reshape and bring "health" to their communities

There was an error in noting that Dr. Labberton is the third president of the school. He is the fifth - Ockenga, Carnell, Hubbard and Mouw were the first four presidents. Dr. Labberton has quite a task on his hands. He will need our prayers.

A great intevew. I have held out on wanting to see online classes or full degrees offered such as an M. Div. Stanford offers a full M.A. We need to get the cost down and think of the people that would have access to Fuller and some of the best training in he world. People who might have a disability would have much better access and as a person with a disability this would be a great help. Corky Riley
