Last Friday in the midst of crazy weather, I boarded Amtrak in Elizabethtown, PA, to lead a discussion on Renewing & Redeeming the Campus – What Can We Do? at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate Christian Fellowship (PGCF).
Abstract: PGCF and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is more than a student ministry, we are a university ministry. We are called to be a redeeming influence among the ideas, people, and structures of higher education. But what does this bold aspiration mean on a practical level, both in the short and long term, as we wrestle with/within a fallen and flawed context? How do we stay faithful in offering up our “Head, Heart, and Hands” in worship each step of the academic journey, in such a manner that the Kingdom/people of God truly are salt, light, and leaven which renews the university? Come join the conversation.
During preparation and presentation,* I found the material flowing. Why? As Mike drew attention to in Campuses Renewed (Mike Hickerson. ESN Blog. 1/25/2011), we have a lot to share.
