Vol. 1 Ep. 14 Dr. Brice Butler
Channel: An Oral History of the Church
Date: 2016-09-02

The 14th episode in our GGBTS Campus Relocation project has finally arrived! This interview features Dr. Brice Butler, pastor of Tiburon Baptist Church and two-time alumnus of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. As the pastor of TBC, Dr. Butler is another Marin County local looking on as the seminary relocates. In some ways, Brice's experiences are similar to our 7th episode in this volume, in which we interviewed Kent and Katie Philpott. Brice comes at the relocation from his own angle, however, so we commend it to you now.

If you want to hear more from Brice, his church releases their sermons in podcast form, available on their website: http://www.tiburonbaptist.org/ 

If you're keeping up with the project, you should know we are in our final stretch of episodes! The GGBTS Campus Relocation project will total 17 episodes in all. Next week, you can expect to find an episode interviewing Dr. Kelly Campbell, a previous Library Director for GGBTS who served on staff for 10 years! The final two episodes will feature debriefing interviews with your co-hosts Adam and then Jonathan. In those episodes, you will find our own take on each of these questions as we stick to our methodology, and a commentary on the overall project.

But this is not the end of An Oral History of the Church! To the contrary, volume 2 will begin in November of 2016! Stay tuned to find out the subject of that volume, or swing by adamwchristman.com/oral-history-podcast .
