Seminary Synopsis | Spring 2013
Leitch named 2012-13 Jeeninga
Fellow in Archaeology
J
enny Marble, a 2013 MDiv candidate, was recently asked to serve
on the Academy of Preachers (AoP)
Gospel Catalyst Network. Marble,
sharing about this experience, says,
"I want to be challenged, grow, network, and encourage. I believe in
AoP." She will be a Catalyst representative at the School of Theology
and across the Church of God for the
2014 AoP Festival in Indianapolis.

ane Leitch, an MTS Thesis
student, has been selected as
the 2012-13 Jeeninga Fellow in
Archaeology. Leitch, the sixth recipient, will dig this summer at Abel
Beth Maacah in Israel through a joint
program sponsored by Azusa Pacific
University (Calif.) and Hebrew
University (Jerusalem). The site was
extensively used in the Bronze Age.
The city has never been excavated,
thus Leitch will be one of the first to
open the site. Leitch also plans as a
part of this fellowship to spend time
with a museum curator in Jerusalem.
Leitch's intent is not only to understand digging but also the museum
operation for significant finds.
"Archaeological digs and artifacts are the primary source material for teaching," notes Leitch, "but
the importance of cataloging, interpreting, and transmitting information about the artifacts cannot be
understated. My hope in shadowing a museum curator is to learn the
process of making artifacts relevant
to the public."
David Neidert, director of the
Jeeninga Museum, is pleased Leitch
was selected. "Dane was an undergraduate student in my archaeology
course. It has been a joy watching him
develop during this time as an undergraduate and now seminary student,"
says Neidert. "Dane, who is a pastor
of a small church in Marion, Ind., is
using this opportunity to personally
grow and then disciple people in that
local church. This is exactly what the
Jeeningas hoped for when they established the Fellowship."
Leitch will present his work to
the Anderson University community in the fall of 2013.
