Good news! My dissertation has been "approved without change" by my committee at San Francisco Theological Seminary. All that's left to do is print two copies on archival paper. It feels a little unreal since the process has taken so long on the institutional end. (I first sent my complete manuscript back in late March, and they requested one revision.) But I'm grateful to see the light at the end of the tunnel so that I can begin transitioning my manuscript into a more popularized form for publication. Many thanks to everyone who has helped and encouraged me in this process. I'm set to graduate on May 2013, or maybe in February via a Trustee's meeting.
