NFWM welcomes our newest summer intern from the Duke Divinity School. In his own words:
“My name is Jonathan Milliken and I am a rising second-year Master of Divinity student at Duke Divinity School. I am passionate about scripture, particularly the Old Testament. I am also passionate about justice for marginalized peoples and I think that much of the Old Testament shows us the importance of this. As a job, I hope to either study and teach the Old Testament or to work in the field of social work (though this depends on my application and potential acceptance to the UNC School of Social Work this winter). My heart will continue to be for marginalized communities, however. So, even if I don’t work where I am directly fighting for the rights of those marginalized, my work in the Old Testament, as well as non-vocational work, will hopefully center around this! Outside of my vocational/educational interests, I also love dogs and hope to soon have one of my own (as opposed to having to go see my family in Montana to get a dog fix). I am thrilled to be a part of the National Farm Worker Ministry this summer and look forward to all the work I will be able to do and things I will be able to learn!”
