The questions facing the residents of first century Palestine were no less daunting. In the midst of Roman Occupation and Jewish despair that life could be different, Jesus of Nazareth drew a new vision for how to be human and how to live in human community. When he called them to follow this vision they could not help but follow him. Where was Jesus leading? Where would he lead today, if he were to walk the streets of our towns and cities? What is the heart of Christianity when for so many centuries it has been hidden under cross-embossed armor?
Apprenticeship is a re-imagining of where Jesus of Nazareth leads us as Christians and as Christian communities. Jesus invites us to embrace our human experience as it is because our lives are fully embraced by God. Being so affirmed in life, we are free to join Jesus in public, nonviolent leadership as participants in God’s healing of the Earth.
Terry Kyllo attended seminary at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, receiving his Masters of Divinity (a four-year degree required for Lutheran ordination) in 1991. Terry serves as a pastor of an ecumenical partnership of five churches in the Skagit Valley of Washington state. As pastor he helps imagine, support, equip, and oversee all the baptized in ministry as all participate in God’s love for and healing of the world.
Terry grew up in Lacrosse, Washington, a wheat-farming town of 300 people in southeastern corner of the state. His father was a custodian at the school, and his mother was a homemaker who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when Terry was five. From the experience of his mother’s illness, Terry learned that life is fragile and is to be honored. He is still learning from his father’s faithfulness in the midst of illness.
Terry’s path to pastoral vocation began when in high school he was told that he could not accept evolutionary theory and be a Christian. This created a tension in his life between Christianity and the modern world that led him away from Christianity for a time. Eventually realizing that it must be possible to both be a Christian and live in today’s world, he engaged in conversation and study to discover the underlying bases for these seemingly contradictory viewpoints and to reconcile those ideas. Apprenticeship is his second book, following Being Human: The Image of the Service God.
Terry lives in Anacortes, Washington, with his wife and their two children.
