Luke Warner, Intern Luke is a student at Wesley Seminary, working on a Masters degree in Theology with an emphasis on Emerging Ministries. He lives in downtown Washington, DC with a group of other seminary students in intentional community, where he serves as elder. Luke is especially interested in spiritual formation and community development. He loves it when a group of people partner together to do something impossible, with each sharing their unique talents, passions, and experiences. This is probably why he gets really excited about pub theology conversations, computer network theory, the San Diego Chargers, and Ocean’s 11. It also suggests he’s a bit of a nerd, and his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Colorado backs that up. When he’s missing the mountains of the western US, Luke likes to go hiking, climbing, and biking with his girlfriend Christina.
