Master of Divinity student Hannah Andres has returned to the U.S. after studying abroad for a semester at the Ecumenical Institute at Ch\u00e2teau de Bossey (EIC) in Switzerland!<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> EIC<\/span><\/a> is the World Council of Churches\u2019 center for encounter, dialogue and formation.\u00a0 Founded in 1946, this \u201cecumenical laboratory\u201d<\/span> welcomes students and researchers from around the world for academic study that specializes in ecumenical theology, missiology, and social ethics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah, hailing originally from eastern Nebraska, received her Bachelor\u2019s in Religious Studies from Willamette University in 2019. She credited a Liberation Theology class with Chaplain Karen Wood, emphasizing practical social change, as the catalyst for her choice of major. Last year she was part of the first CST incoming class to begin their studies in Salem, Oregon. She is in the ordination process with The Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah\u2019s learning community at the EIC was a globally, culturally, and denominationally diverse group with Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant students and teachers from all over Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Studying alongside 28 students from 22 countries, Hannah took two electives\u2014Ecumenical Missiology and Ecumenical Biblical Hermeneutics\u2014and earned a Complementary Certificate in Ecumenical Studies, administered through the University of Geneva.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah\u2019s experiences at the EIC gave her an intimate look at both the opportunities and challenges of ecumenical learning and community-building. Operating as a queer woman in spaces where not everyone affirmed LGBTQIA+ people or supported women\u2019s ordination was, at times, a frustrating and painful experience. She discussed the difficult tension in ecumenical spaces of being inclusive and open to difficult conversations:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to ask, \u2018How do we get to those conversations [about sexuality or women\u2019s ordination] without forcing people [who don\u2019t affirm them] out of the table?\u2019 But there is also the reality that by <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>talking about these things, we\u2019re <\/span>already<\/span><\/i> keeping people from the table.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During her time at the EIC, Hannah made invaluable connections with professors and others who encouraged her to continue wrestling with these challenges, pursuing justice, and \u201cbeing subversive.\u201d She met regularly with one professor with whom she could discuss whatever was on her mind, hear an informed, global perspective, and discuss the practical ways the church has served as a tool of injustice as well as the ways in which it can continue to subvert that legacy. Hannah\u2019s friendship with a nearby United Methodist missionary also expanded her awareness of how complex the world of mission can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although program-directed traveling was cancelled due to COVID-19, Hannah and her friends pursued their own adventures in Switzerland and beyond in their three-week Christmas break. \u201cThere were a handful of us who didn\u2019t go anywhere because of COVID-19,\u201d Hannah explained, \u201cso we spent a lot of that time traveling around Switzerland mostly \u2013 we saw the Matterhorn and went to Bern and saw the whole capitol building and everything. We also visited France and I had the best cr\u00eapes of my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Hannah\u2019s January birthday, her friends celebrated her in an unforgettable way: \u201cMy Methodist missionary friend and one of the women from Thailand took me to Kandersteg and the Alps. We took the ski lift up and had mulled wine and sandwiches on a frozen lake where my friends stuck a kind of candle\/firework into my sandwich and sang, \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
