Alan Love left the flora and fauna of San Diego for the wilds of Cambridge and MIT in 1991. Over a course of four years, as an MIT undergrad ministry Chaplain, I partnered with then-student Alan Love in weekly hospitality-driven leadership and faith discussions among Alan’s many fraternity brothers. It was an early iteration of what was to become a career-defining practice for both of us: hosting discussions of faith and topics of academic and personal interest with plenty to disagree about while simultaneously absorbing all kinds of intellectual, relational, and spiritual lessons.
