Denouement for the Day
Rhoda and I went boating with friends on Thursday evening to mark my retirement,
The sunset was an appropriate denouement.

A day of change
Today it ends… After 28 years at Concordia, I am retiring. I leave for my exit interview shortly.
Today it begins… People call it a new chapter (a final chapter?). I approach it with a degree of uncertainty and ambivalence. I have projects lined up, travel anticipated. But it is a change, and I am Lutheran.
As Jubilate sang at my retirement event (and at my request), “No time to tarry here. I am on my journey home.”
With confidence in Christ and loving support from Rhoda, here we go.
Farewell lecture
I had a wonderful opportunity to report on the Northeast Insulae Project (now complete) and to say farewell to students and colleagues at Concordia University as I retire. The full event is below.
Upcoming Lecture
Dr. Mark Schuler invites the CSP community to a lecture in the Buetow Music Auditorium on Wednesday, May 4, at 10:30am. Titled Τετέλεσται, this lecture is a final report on the 20-year excavation project at Hippos of the Decapolis, overlooking the east shore of the Sea of Galilee at which the Concordia team uncovered an urban monastic complex centered on a healing cult honoring a revered woman. This lecture also marks the retirement of Dr. Schuler from the theology faculty at Concordia Saint Paul after twenty-eight years of service.

Emeritus Status
The CSP Digest from 2.17.22 included an announcement that the Board of Regents has awarded me Emeritus Status, the most important perks of which are that I retain library privileges and my university email address (mark.schuler@csp.edu). More importantly, this new designation reminds me that the transition is soon at hand.
