I think the key to genuine success for Widener - that is, faithfulness to an academic mission of intellec tual and ethical integrity - means to enthusiasticaly contribute to the community and to realize that the people of Chester have gifts and graces that can make some very powerful contributions to the life of Widener. Genuine reciprocity is critical. " Because of an extensive and well established staff and administrative structure in his new appointJnent in Philadelphia, Pastor White intends to renew some of his intellectual, vocational, and artistic interests that have been kept on hold for the most part during the last few years. He is excited about opportunities to teach, lecture and write in areas of the philosophy of science, Holocaust Studies, cross-cultural and inter faith affairs, Jewish-Christian rela tions, and a broad range of creative writing. Pastor White's wife, Betty Jane, is a staff member of the Widener Universit ~7 Child Development Center. She is also a certified ,facilitator in an early childhood drug abuse prevention program, a writer and workshop leader/speaker in the area of curriculum development, and was responsible for introducing a drug abuse prevention program to the Chester-Upland School District. Betty Jane and Pastor White are parents of three children and grand parents of two.
