Rose Marie Miller interview.

While discussing Jack's resignation from Westminster seminary and Mechanicsville chapel in 1970, after which he went to Spain and studied the promises of God, Rose Marie was also reminded of his resignation in 1982.

It was the year Jack would've been tenured. But because of everything going on at New Life Church and in the mission leadership training, the session had asked Jack to quit teaching full-time to because everything else was going on and something had to be reduced.

So RoseMarie remembered when he resigned that one of the other professors was shocked that he would resign in his tenure year. He could've been set for life, couldn't have been fired.

RoseMarie interpreted, that Professor couldn't understand that Jack didn't care about those things.

Paul Miller interview 1:

P: Yeah. So here was the culture of critique piece. And that kind of disappeared slowly after he left Westminster but he was always very perceptive of culture, always read broadly. And that comes through in his sermons all the time. #0:22:55.9#
