We'll get together for soup at 630pm and a film at 730. We'll be watching A Man Named Pearl. Check out the trailer here.

Andy Crouch's most recent book, Culture Making, is one of the top books off the press in 2008. Publisher's Weekly said, "Those who have struggled with the sacred-secular dichotomy will find this book life-giving; every Christian interested in changing culture should read it." We will interact with Andy live via web-conference about some of his ideas on Christians, culture, and whether he likes his eggs over easy or scrambled.

Andy studied classics at Cornell, is a senior editor of Christianity Today International, and will be speaking at the Jubilee Conference.

 

Face2Face Improv presents an evening of comedy and improvisational theater:

Face2Face, recently invited to perform with the Improv Olympics, a feature production of Second City Chicago, comes to Ithaca to perform as part of the annual Institute of Biblical Studies sponsored by New Life Presbyterian Church, Bethel Grove Bible Church and Chesterton House Center for Christian Studies at Cornell.

Come join us for a discussion led by Chesterton House Director Karl Johnson of Andy Crouch's (Cornell '90) new book Culture Making.

Karl will provide an overview and short review, followed by plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Pizza and refreshments provided.

ABSTRACT: I'll consider the claim on the part of several theologians, philosophers and scientists that modern science shows or suggests that God never acts specially in the world , i.e., never acts beyond creation and conservation. (Miracles would be an example of special divine action.) I'll argue that there is no conflict between special divine action and classical science, i.e. Newtonian science. What is needed to get conflict there is the causal closure of the physical universe; but that's not part of classical science.

This is a joint fellowship meeting of Cornell Christian Fellowship and Grace Christian Fellowship.

Several of us went to this last year. It was a GREAT conference. If you're at all into art, it's just terrific. Watch for more info as the date approaches.
