      Grace Communion International is in broad agreement with the theology of the people we interview, but GCI does not endorse every detail of every interview. The opinions expressed are those of the interviewees. We thank them for their time and their willingness to participate.

      Please understand that when people speak, thoughts are not always put into well-formed sentences, and sometimes thoughts are not completed. In the following transcripts, we have removed occasional words that did not seem to contribute any meaning to the sentence. In some cases we could not figure out what word was intended. We apologize for any transcription errors, and if you notice any, we welcome your assistance.

      Our guest in these interviews is Roger J. Newell, Professor Emeritus of Religion at George Fox University and author of

      Dr. Newell completed his doctoral studies under Professor James B. Torrance in Aberdeen, Scotland, then served for eight years as a pastor in England, followed by five years as a pastor of a church in Oregon, and then teaching at George Fox University.

      The interviewer was J. Michael Feazell, who was then vice president of Grace Communion International.

      Responding to God in an Authentic Way

      J. Michael Feazell: As I understand it, you were the first American student that James Torrance had in doctoral studies in Aberdeen.

      RN: Right, that was 1978. I arrived just a little bit after Professor Torrance came the previous semester to be the professor there, after having been the teacher in Attenborough, Scotland, for quite a few years. It was a great opportunity and privilege to be one of his early students, to attend his seminars, and to get to know him as a mentor and as a friend.

      JMF: You mentioned that he instilled the passion in you for pastoral ministry…

      RN: Right. The time I went there, I was thinking maybe I wasn’t sure if I was going to do pastoral work or just pursue teaching. But having studied with Professor Torrance, I became more aware of a call that I really did want to pastor. He inspired in me a sense that the parish, the local church, is the laboratory where people come to know the living God and we become participants in that and roll up our sleeves. That was very significant, and I wanted to do that.

      JMF: So you spent a little over a decade in pastoral ministry before you began teaching in George Fox.

      RN: Thirteen years.

      JMF: That would bring to your theology a real, practical, meaningful, tone that we don’t often see in theology.

      RN: I was also fortunate in having studied with Ray Anderson at Fuller Seminary. Ray had made it important, and modeled for this same kind of connection and integration between pastoral care and pastoral work and the best theology one can articulate.
