Responses to the Paradise Fire: The Wisdom of Not-Knowing
GTU Alum Katy Valentine (PhD, '14) reflects on her experiences as part of the relief efforts following the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA: "From my time at the GTU, I learned that confessing not knowing answers is a gateway to greater learning. It also helps us ask smarter questions. The impact of studying with people very similar and also very different than me led me to know that God can deliver many good answers at once, and they do not have to be identical. . . . Respectful cooperation is more powerful than fighting."
