No Need to Stay in the Darkness

I left the office at the usual time on Monday this week. Things seemed different, though – it was dark. Evidently the amount of daylight is getting shorter and “daylight savings time” has come and gone. The good news this week was that when I left home Tuesday morning, the sun was shining. The apostle John recorded some words of Jesus that seem to be pertinent to this situation: “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness (John 12:46; ESV). How wonderful it is that as Christians we no longer remain in the darkness of sin and death. We must recognize that Jesus enlightens us with His love – evident through His death and resurrection – so that we may reflect His light in our lives.

As I was paging again through a section of our book of the year, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, I read this: “At 7:22 a.m., April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was pronounced dead” (p. 743). I remembered Dr. David Woodard’s conversation with us a couple of weeks ago sharing that some have wondered if Lincoln were a Christian or not. We thank our God today that there is no reason to wonder and no need to stay in the darkness.

Lonn Maly, Vice President for Academic Affairs

.

Theme for the 2009-2010 Academic Year is: “The Light Shines in the Darkness” and is based on John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5 ESV

Here are a couple of texts that are also appropriate to accompany the TOTY 1. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. John 3:19 ESV 2. Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind." John 9:39 ESV Please feel free to use this theme in your course outlines and syllabi and seek other appropriate opportunities to share the theme with our campus community, in your congregation and with other publics that are served by Concordia University.

Mission Central from Rev. Dr. Richard Carter This One, Specifically I noted last month my preference for mission as big picture, grand purpose, but promised to address mission as the specific, the detailed. The clearest way to do that with CSP’s mission statement is to confront the last clause, “all within the context of the Christian Gospel.” There are other gospels: as I teach world religions I point out the gospel proposals of Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. There are various readings of the Christian Gospel. When a student wrote “Christians believe the only way to reach salvation is complete obedience to those [ten] commandments” I proposed politely that he might be wrong, given that his definition of Christianity made no reference to Christ. What then of this Christian Gospel in CSP’s mission? If you listen to some descriptions of the Christian faith you might find them binding, moralistic, or lacking in intelligence. Such gospels are not the Christian Gospel at the heart of Concordia’s mission. If you know the Christian faith as powerful and liberating, you glimpse more deeply the gift that CSP, in the practice of its mission, can be to its students, community, church and world. Café Theology says it this way: “God made us as multi- dimensional beings, and so life lived in company with Him is going to involve living in more dimensions, not fewer. The ordinary pleasures of life [and our various academic disciplines and university tasks] are not left behind---they are taken up and properly directed and properly enjoyed” (p. 11). Adapting a comment from a pastors’ Bible study, I would argue that the Christian Gospel “is the foundation for all that Christians teach and practice, but it must not be made into the ceiling that thwarts and limits the full expression” of our teaching. May I argue that the Christian Gospel, cosmic as it is, is profoundly simple? In that single, specific person named Jesus, for whose life there is reasonable historical evidence, we believe, teach, and confess that God opened again the doors to a full humanity. In the context of this Gospel we prepare students. The Oswald Hoffmann School of Christian Outreach (OHSCO)

The New Science of Adult Learning: MACAE's Conference Registration Begins! The field of neuroscience is revealing the secrets of the brain and how we think, act and learn. In the past thirty years, due to new technologies and research, many of our traditional beliefs about brain activity and human learning have been shown to be completely untrue.

What is now emerging is a whole new science and understanding of a brain that is constantly growing neurons and able to learn new skills at every age.

Exactly what is science teaching us? What are the implications for adult education and learning? MACAE's 34th Annual Conference will unravel this complex new research frontier for you - beginning with a lively presentation by one of the world's top neuroscientists, the University's Professor Apostolos Georgopoulos.

From there, the programs provide practical ideas and tips that will inform and inspire your practice - whether you work with ABE/GED, continuing education, higher education or personal training. You may also learn new ways to improve your own brain power!

The complete conference program and registration form are available @ http://mnmacae.org/Program09FallConf.pdf.pdf

The one conference too important to miss this year!

ONWARD Scott Harr Memorial Run/Walk 5k a Success!! On Saturday, October 24, over 80 participants, many generous donors and good weather led to a successful scholarship fund raising event in honor of Professor Scott Harr, who passed away unexpectedly last year. David Gottschalk came in first place for men, Rachel Price was the first place female winner and Laura Kauffman was “Good Runnin’” winner, who came closest to Scott’s previous 5k race time. We also had many, many runners and walkers who reported a good day on the course.

The committee would like to thank all of our participants, business sponsors, volunteers and those who made very generous donations towards this event. Although final tallies are still being calculated, over $3,000 was raised that will provide scholarship money for a deserving student.

We are still accepting donations of any amount. Please contact Carolyn Zapor ([email protected]) or Melissa Fletcher ([email protected]) for more information.

Fall 2009 Convocations Wednesday at Noon, BEC

Nov. 4: Fred Hagstrom: Professor of Art, Carleton College. In conjunction with his Print exhibition in the Concordia University Gallery, Hagstrom will discuss the impact of taking students to the South Pacific and the influence of the natural world on his art work. Important to his work is the issue of how our art and culture reflect our relationship with the natural world. After working figuratively for over twenty years, Hagstrom began working in a more abstract style because it felt like the best way to explore what interested him. He wants to see the art world become more concerned with passionately held beliefs and beauty, and less concerned with irony or market based strategies. He believes that art should be a part of people's lives, and that it has the power to change the way we view the world. Nov. 18: Homelessness Awareness Week: Homeless and the Impact on Household Pets. How has the recession, foreclosures and homelessness affected companion animals? A panel discussion with local animal shelters will address these issues.

2009-2010 CSP Book of the Year: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln From the front flap: Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln’s political genius as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals.

Drafting, revising, and rewriting papers can be painful, but it doesn’t have to be that way! In order to make it easier and more convenient for all students to find a way out of their writing quagmires, the Writing Center recently opened a helpful Writing Nook in the LTC. You can find us in the library, between the reference desk and the stapler. For now our hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 4-6 p.m.; students may sign up for an appointment or simply stop by when it is convenient. Currently the Writing Nook is staffed by Teresa Spear, who is a secondary English education major. Come on over and ask a question, vent about a project, and discover how to communicate more effectively. Let us help you unleash your inner writer! The main Writing Center, located in Luther Hall 116, will continue to tutor students Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving
