Science Corner: Get Ready! It’s Brine Shrimp Season!

September 28, 2022 by Julie Reynolds Leave a Comment

For everything there is a season, and now that we have passed the Autumnal Equinox, when the sun is directly over the Equator and days and nights are nearly equal length, we have officially transitioned from summer to autumn in the northern hemisphere. For many people, Fall means it's time to get out sweaters, decorate with gourds, and partake of traditional autumnal foods and beverages (pumpkin spice latte, anyone?). For some people, autumn means it's time to bring in the rest of the crops and garden vegetables. Others … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Get Ready! It’s Brine Shrimp Season!

Science Corner: Science, Ho!

July 4, 2018 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

The Fourth of July in Pittsburgh is a big time for boating, what with the three rivers and all that. So this story about citizen scientists contributing their time at sea to science caught my eye. As Aquaman loves to remind us, the surface of the Earth is over 70% water. Yet nearly all of science is conducted on land, making it challenging to know even basic facts of what is happening out in the ocean. The solution here is to recruit volunteers (no press-ganging for this navy) who already spend significant time on the … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Science, Ho!

Missionaries Changed the World Once – Can they do it again?

January 30, 2014 by Ed Brown 4 Comments

The topic of a recent cover story in Christianity Today is shaking up not only the world of missions, but also academia.  The World the Missionaries Made is a report on the work of Robert Woodberry, a sociologist currently researching at the Political Science Department of the National University of Singapore. CT's Executive Editor Andy Crouch calls it the CT cover story of which he is most proud. Its thesis and Woodberry's work support a remarkable conclusion – that a generation of “conversionary protestant … [Read more...] about Missionaries Changed the World Once – Can they do it again?

The Jamaica Call to Action (Part 3): A Plea for Prayer

August 13, 2013 by Ed Brown 2 Comments

The Jamaica Call to Action, based on two convictions and presenting 10 clear and actionable things that the church can do, nonetheless recognizes that even though we know what needs to be done, and we know how to do most of it, this is not enough. A problem that has eluded the best brains and that all of the powers of all of the governments on earth are unable to solve will not be solved with a to-do list, no matter how well thought out. So the call to action ends with an urgent call to prayer: Our call to … [Read more...] about The Jamaica Call to Action (Part 3): A Plea for Prayer
