Thomas C. Oden Quotes

After Some Pondering, I Made A Decision That Would Affect All Of My Future Work And Writing In More Ways Than I Could Ever Have Anticipated. It Was A Decision Between Seminary And College Teaching. More So It Was A Decision Between Two Very Different Cultures Of New England And The Southwest. I Chose Seminary Teaching In Texas, Which Was A Decision Some Of My Colleague On The East Coast Thought Was Foolish. From Then On, As Long As I Was In The Southwest, I Would Feel The Sting Of The Silent Condescension And Stereo Typing By Eastern Elites Who Disdained Southwestern American Culture. Many Viewed As Inconsequential Everything That Happened West Of The Hudson River. What They Disparaged Was Exactly What I Loved, The Easy Going, Unpretentious, Common Culture Of My Native Landscape In Oklahoma And Texas.
