Mark Dillon experienced in an underground seminary during the Nazi regime. I want to tell you a story, too, about community. It’s my story, yet it isn’t. Because, Wheaton Alumni Association President you see, I slept through most of it. It’s really about Wheaton’s campus community. Matthew C. Hsieh ’93 This story began in Cleveland on Monday, Labor Day of 2007, when I tripped and President-Elect fell flat on my face onto a concrete driveway. The next day I drove home to Wheaton, Timothy A.

Professor Emeritus On Thursday, despite my headache, I decided to go into the office. Within a Leroy H.

They literally Matthew C. Hsieh ’93 saved my life by seeing that I received help. Anna quickly drove me to a nearby Timothy A. Stoner ’82 Georgia I. Douglass Robert D.

Watching the doors on that truck Wheaton College close was the last thing I remembered when I awoke from a coma two days later. President Dr. Duane Litfin Within hours of hearing the report of the brain bleed, Vice President Mark Dillon Provost called the entire division together and they, along with the Billy Graham Center Dr. Stanton L. Jones administration, prayed for me—some praying late into the night—when my life was Senior Vice President tenuous and the threat of severe brain damage was very real. Their prayers, and the Dr. David E. Johnston ’65 work of the medical staff, did “avail much.” That night, the Lord, for reasons I’ll never Vice President for Advancement and Alumni Relations understand, allowed me to continue living on this earth, at least for a while longer. Dr. R. Mark Dillon This community of believers called Wheaton College surrounded me and my Executive Assistant family with their concern and generosity for several weeks as I recuperated and to the President Marilee A.

  • Spring 2003 Wheaton
    Spring 2003 Wheaton Responding to the AIDS Crisis Our New Community Covenant d ear friends— I think of them as 6:10 endeavors. In Galatians 6:10 the Apostle instructs us that whenever the opportunity arises, God’s people should try to move out. That is, we should seek to use these kairos moments—Paul’s word—to “work the good” toward (or “to the advantage of”) all people, while yet ensuring that we do not neglect our first responsibility to fellow believers (“the household of faith”). What does this instruction, and others like it in God’s Word, require of Wheaton College? Many things, no doubt, some of which you will read about in this issue of Wheaton magazine. For instance, why do our Trustees every year spend thousands of dollars from their own pockets to send new books to alumni missionaries all over the world? Because of their commitment to this faithful segment of “the household of faith.”Why does Wheaton have a Colson Scholar program for ex-offenders? Read the piece on Angulus Wilson’s leadership of our Prison Ministries program. Why is there a desire on campus to involve ourselves in responding to the AIDS epidemic in Africa and elsewhere? Because we have come to see this as a kairos moment in history, an opportunity to “work the good” towards millions of people in desperate need. And then there is this question:Why does Wheaton persist in such 6:10 endeavors? Because we are confident of the promise of the previous verse: If we do not falter, in the end God will grant his harvest (6:9).

  • Wheaton College Case Study
    Case Study The Doors of Wheaton College Travel due west of Chicago nearly 30 miles to find the suburban community of Wheaton, Illinois. This picturesque small city is noteworthy for its history, notable citizenry, and its namesake college. Wheaton College is a Christian, liberal arts college and graduate school with “twin traditions of quality academics and deep faith.” It consistently ranks very high among liberal arts colleges for undergraduate teaching and always within the top 100 liberal arts colleges. The college was founded in 1860. One year previous, William Wheaton, one of the founders of the city, had donated land to the former Illinois Institute which had been founded by Wesleyan Methodists. A new President renamed the Institute to Wheaton College in honor of their benefactor and officially separated the college from any denominational support. This man, Jonathan Blanchard, was a dedicated reformer and staunch abolitionist. Under his leadership, the college became a stop on the Underground Railroad. He also lobbied for universal co-education. As a result, Wheaton College was the only school in Illinois with a college-level women’s program at the time. In 1866 the college also graduated its first student of color. Blanchard Hall Aptly, the oldest building on campus is named Blanchard Hall. Built in 1853, it sits at the center of campus with striking Romanesque architecture. Its prominent octagonal tower, and the remainder of its envelope, is constructed of native Illinois limestone with the last stone set in 1872. Today, Blanchard Hall is home to the offices of the President, Historic Blanchard Hall is an icon Provost, Vice-Presidents and Academic Affairs as well as at the center of campus.

Our theme, "Christianity in the Early Centuries," was chosen by the Executive Committee in view of sev­ eral current developments. First the phenomenal sale (25 million plus copies) of Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code, has aroused great public interest in the possibility th<Jt the (Catholic) Church has engaged in a conspiracy to conceal the "fact" that Jesus was mM­ ried to Mary Magadalene, who Brown e1lleges was portrayed in Da Vinci's painting of The Last Supper. Second, Brown claims that his thesis is IJased in p~rt on the Gnostic Gospels, discovered at Nag Hammadi in Egypt in 1945. While Brown's mystery novel may be easily dismissed as fictional fantasy, important scholars such as Elaine Pagels, Karen King, and Bart Ehrman have written popular expositions which challenge the accepted canon of New Testament documents, and the Eusebian narrative of orthodoxy and competing heterodoxies. They are also articulate spokespersons, who make a persuasive case on television, reaching a vast audience. Protestants in general, and evangelicals in particular have been criticized-with some justification-for leapfrogging from the New Testament er,1 to the Reformation, neglecting with disdain the intervening centuries. We are fortunate that we have four eminent church historians-Christopher Hall, Nicholas Perrin, Jeffrey Bingham, and Paul Trebilco-who will address these issues in their plenary addresses.
