In following Jonathan Winch, who has served the College for nearly all of our 26-year history, and led the College as Principal for 12 years, I have some pretty big shoes to fill! In seeking to serve some of the most dedicated and impressive young people I know, the responsibility is considerable. But while change in leadership inevitably brings with it some new approaches to the way we work, we have been seeking, as a College, to remind ourselves of the things which should never change. Central to the success of Emmanuel College is a commitment to do what is right, pursue the truth and grow in character by living out our core values to the glory of God. A vitally important part of our Christian ethos is the pursuit of excellence – something Emmanuel is known for in our local area and beyond. A determination to be the best we can be for the benefit of everyone in our community will remain at the heart of all we do. One of the ways in which we seek to ensure we live out these values in our lives now and in the future is by developing an attitude of servant-hearted leadership.

  • Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Family Planning
    Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Family Planning As religious leaders, we are committed to helping all people thrive spiritually, emotionally, and physically, which includes their sexual and reproductive health. Millions of people ground their moral commitment to family planning in their religious beliefs. Most faith traditions accept modern methods of contraception, and support it as a means of saving lives, improving reproductive and public health, enhancing sexuality, and encouraging intentional parenthood. Even within faith groups that limit or prohibit such services, the religious commitment to freedom of conscience allows couples to choose contraception to intentionally create their families. While there are strong public health and human rights arguments for supporting domestic and international family planning programs, here we invite you to consider the religious foundations for affirming safe, affordable, accessible, and comprehensive family planning services. A DIVINE GIFT Religious traditions teach that sex and sexuality are divinely bestowed gifts for expressing mutual love, generating life, for companionship, and for pleasure. From a religious point of view, sexual relationships are to be held sacred, and therefore should always be responsible, mutually respectful, pleasurable and loving. The gift of sexuality is violated when it is abused or exploited. Accessible, safe, and effective contraception allows for a fulfilling sexual life while reducing maternal and infant mortality, unintended pregnancies, abortions, and sexually transmitted infections. SACREDNESS OF FAMILY Our faith traditions affirm that parenthood is sacred, and therefore should not be entered into lightly nor coerced. Families in their diverse forms are best upheld in environments where there is love and respect, children thrive, and women’s welfare is protected.

  • Press Release
    • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • Media Contact: David B. Smith | Gallery Director T: 303.893.4234 | [email protected] Gregory Euclide, Paul Jacobsen, Kris Lewis PULSE Contemporary Art Fair Los Angeles | Booth A-7 L.A. LIVE Complex Event Deck | 1005 West Chick Hearn Court, Downtown Los Angeles, California September 30 – October 3, 2011 The David B. Smith Gallery is pleased to announce that it will be participating in the PULSE Contemporary Art Fair in Los Angeles, from September 30 through October 3, 2011. The Gallery will be presenting work by Gregory Euclide, Paul Jacobsen and L.A.-based artist Kris Lewis. Euclide, Jacobsen, and Lewis each respond to historical art movements, while pushing traditional boundaries in order to achieve contemporary cultural relevancy. Gregory Euclide creates complex and engaging dioramas which contain a mixture of landscape images painted on paper, that have been shaped into three-dimensional sculptures. The battered and wrinkled sheets of paper that are the foundation of these works, carry a blend of imagery containing picturesque landscapes drawn from memory, photo transfers based on nature photography, and abstract areas of raw paint. Euclide uses actual artifacts from the land, such as pine needles and bark, and places them in juxtaposition with found, weathered, manmade materials. His work explores the tensions, confusion and contradictions between pristine nature and the culture in which we live, and he continues to ask how we can simultaneously preserve the environment and yet maintain the benefits of a modern lifestyle. Euclideʼs work has recently been included in the exhibition Otherworldly at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City; and will be featured in the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, New Jersey, in the October exhibition Deconstructing Nature; and in the exhibition Small Worlds at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, opening in November 2011.
