Join us on 11/4 on Zoom at 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM for a UA Christian Staff and Faculty Fellowship gathering. 

You're welcome to keep eating your lunch during the gathering. 

We'll finish Chapter 7 of Expository Apologetics: Answering Objections with the Power of the Word by Voddie Baucham Jr. Here are some Amazon links:

It's time to start thinking about the book we'll discuss during Spring 2021. Click the link here to look at the options and indicate your preference. 

Are you interested in being a resource to organizations looking for Christian professionals to speak? I've been asked by some ministers if group members can speak on topics of applying faith to life. I know some of us currently speak to groups, so if you'd like to make yourself available for speaking to groups, click the link here and provide contact information and your topic of interest. 

On 11/11, we're delighted to welcome Barry McGlothin, Director of Navigators International Student Ministry at UA, Karen McGlothin, Katie Price, Edgar Voltz, and Jessica Voltz. They'll tell us about their ministry to international students at UA. 

October was the 70th anniversary of the publication of CS Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Here are some presentations about the enduring relevance of that story.

These happened on 11/4

  • 1898. Pan Xiushan, the first Christian convert among the Hmu in China's Guizhou Province, and Willian Fleming, a missionary for China Inland Mission, were martyred. Pan had been translating for the mission.
  • 1903. Watchman Nee was born in China. He was a prolific Christian author, and spent the last 20 years of his life in prison because of his opposition to Chinese government policies like the Three-Self Movement.

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...

Christian Faculty and Staff Fellowship meets November 28

  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed the time off. We'll resume on 11/28 with a visit by Jennifer Waddell , Athletes in Action , thanks to Phil Bishop.   Next semester's book: Love Your God with All Your Mind: The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul by J.P. Moreland (NavPress, 2011). The title is linked to Amazon. Make sure to get the 2012 version. It's an updated version of the book from 1997. Moreland makes the case for the intellectual appeal and rigor of Christianity. It has a cultural, worldview, and apologetics outlook and is relevant to us who want to be salt and light in the groves of academe. The book can be a basis for other readings we would do.   Looking ahead: I came across this announcement for the Dallas Conference on Science and Faith in January 2019 . It looks like it has a substantive agenda for those who might be interested.   And since we're on the subject of science and faith, today is Red Planet Day to commemo...
