Our own Bob Brooks was interviewed on the podcast Aaron Beam Speaks. It's worth hearing if you're interested in how one's faith informs a person's decision-making. Faith-specific discussion starts around 24:17. Here's the link:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-31-dr-robert-brooks-nobody-is-exempt-from-ethical/id1502160253?i=1000490993533. 

Phil Bishop shared a special treat. It's a free book, Where is God in a Coronavirus World by John C. Lennox. It's typically $5.99 on Amazon but can be downloaded from a link in the flyer. I got a lot out of his discussion growing from a reflection on the corona and the 2 crowns Christ-followers will wear. 

These happened on 9/23

  • 1595. Fray Juan de Silva led the Catholic missionary effort in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
  • 1857. Jeremiah Lanphier led lunchtime prayer meetings for business people that some say blossomed into the Third Great Awakening.

UA Christian Staff and Faculty Fellowship - Chapter 4 - Making a difference; and don't forget the book survey, 4/7

Come to the Christian Faculty and Staff Fellowship on Wednesday, 3/24, at 11:45 AM (done by 12:45 PM).  We'll finish Chapter 4 of The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship by George M. Marsden. If Christians are informing their scholarship with their faith, what would that look like and what difference would it make? The Amazon links are: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3pIQRwL Kindle: https://amzn.to/32W0iPM   From the abstract on Amazon: "Marsden argues forcefully that mainstream American higher education needs to be more open to explicit expressions of faith and to accept what faith means in an intellectual context."  Meeting logistics   We'll continue to meet on Zoom until it's clear that staff, faculty, and students are fully back on campus and pursuing their regular activities. I'll keep checking for announcements about that.  The Zoom link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87919167217?pwd=cVJjbHhUaXhidllPMkM1UXVCbzc0QT09   You're welcome to eat your...
