My vocation is to teach theology,
and my vocation is to try to expand and expound possible meanings of
biblical images which shall be congruent with a not-earth-centered
notion of the cosmos. This is not Mrs. Svenson’s job. It is not my
job, maybe, as pastor of Mrs. Svenson; but I am not just that. If the
church sticks me with this job, then confound it, I have got to run
where the hounds are. So I would defend the legitimacy of theological
speculation as necessary obedience to the momentum of thought. I am
not expounding this as what I say to Mrs. Svenson, but I am talking
about you who are also running with the hounds. — Joseph Sittler
