In great Jubilee-ation

Posted by tom | Feb 18, 2007

Conversation after conversation, speaker after speaker at CCO's Jubilee 07 encouraged me in the call to campus ministry, highlights included:

1. hearing excerpts from my Grove City College Church History mentor Andy Hoffecker's soon to be released new worldview piece
2. an extended lunch conversation with David Naugle, who referred to Hoffecker's work in his Worldview seminar, focused on 'Why be a follower of Christ in academia' and the various programs he's developed at Dallas Baptist Univeristy, check out Paideia College Society
3. picking Byron Borger's (Hearts and Minds bookstore) brain on resources for addressing 'Why be a follower of Christ in academia'
4. exploring the possibilities of partnership with Geneva's Higher Ed program
in developing material for the Emerging Scholar's Network
5. staying up way too early in the morning (posting this at 2:30am to see the Amazing Grace the soon to be released film on William Wilberforce's efforts to end slavery in Britain. Wow! More tomorrow. Time to take a rest.

    I somehow got it into my head that Jubilee was next weekend, and thought I was going to miss it because we will be out of town.

    But, on Sunday, Heather saw this post... And so I missed it anyway. Too bad.

    Bummer Jon. Wish we could have chatted there. Not surprisingly, I hauled away a few books. At Byron's recommendation, I bought "What am I supposed to do with my life: Asking the Right Questions" (Douglas J. Brouwer) to address calling/vocation with undergrads.

    For my upcoming Adult Elective, "In the Shadow of the Cross," I picked up N.T. Wright's "Reflecting the Glory: Meditations for Living Christ's Life in the World" and "The Scriptures, the Cross, and the Power of God: Reflections for Holy Week." Related, I purchased Miroslav Volf's "Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace." You'll be seeing some quotes from these on the blog in the coming week.

    Hope we can connect during my next visit to 'da Burgh in April for the alumni event at Carnival :-)
