Wow! Ok, so I’m busy typing away at the last two chapters of the Thesis From Hell (a.k.a – Das Elefant). At the moment I’m working on the chapter dealing with Nestorius’ views of the Theotokos and the emerging cult & devotion to her; and it hits me . . . . this week is the week in 431 when the Council of Ephesus happened. Hmmmmm . . . . Ok that’s a fun coincidence but then . . . . is it not odd too that both my MA and my PhD are on the Theotokos? Well not really there IS a reasonable explanation – I got interested in the emergence of Marian cult & devotion while finishing my BA. . . . OK . . . this is fine . . . . but. . . .erm. . . . this week is also my consecration anniversary . . . Oh. Hmmm . . . .

Funny how things fall into place unexpectedly.
