      Loci is Latin for “localities” or “centers of focus.” It is shorthand for disciplines like comparative religions, theology, hermeneutics and history. We don’t all have the same AOC, and so SemLoci posts will touch on what is unique teaching your discipline. »

Digital Media for Ministry: Mapping the Landscape

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Kyle Matthew Oliver
