Walking the Walk

Texas Lutheran University students took part in the city of Seguin annual CROP Hunger Walk on November 11. Rev. Harry Foster, Professor of Old Testament Studies at TLU, persuasively challenged his students to “walk the walk.” At the time the class was studying Old Testament prophets and their emphasis on economic and social justice.

“I encouraged my students,” said Foster, “by offering them the following incentives: Walk and you may (1) get credit for one unexcused absence and (2) on our next exam, you may answer ‘CROP’ on one question related to the prophets.” Of the 10 students enrolled, eight opted to walk!
