The same “Using APA Format Effectively” workshop will be offered again from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, in the same location.

What is the church “doing right” with younger generations? A one-day forum, hosted by George Fox University and Western Seminary, will address the question on Saturday, Oct. 19, in Portland.

The “ReGeneration Forum,” featuring Scot McKnight, Amena Brown, John Mark Comer, Sarah Thomas Baldwin, Dan Kimball and others, will focus on the practical ways churches are effectively reaching out to younger generations and keeping them engaged in the mission of God. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Imago Dei Community, 1302 S.E. Ankeny St., in Portland.

“Instead of looking at the sad statistics and reasons why millenials are leaving the church, the ReGeneration Forum will look at what God is doing positively in churches,” said Kimball, an adjunct professor at George Fox and the author of They Like Jesus but Not the Church. “We’ll share the amazing things God is doing in churches that are seeing new generations put faith in Jesus and reverse the negative trends out there.”

The day will feature main presentations from theologians and practitioners, followed by sharing from college students and forum interaction with a panel and attendees. Among those in attendance will be church leaders, theologians, artists and students.

Don’t forget to register for Dirk Barram’s presentation, “The Leader in All of Us; High Calling, High Risk,” scheduled from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at the Portland Center. There is no cost to attend, and coffee and tea will be provided.

All of us have leadership qualities within us. What do they look like? How are they manifested in our actions? Why might this fact be both important, yet carry risk? Why is it seemingly undervalued? These and other questions will be discussed at the session, the latest College of Business Fall Speaker Series Event.

Dirk, dean of the College of Business, is in his 27th year at George Fox. He worked at Hewlett–Packard in Palo Alto, Calif., as a division training and development manager prior to coming to the university. Since coming to George Fox, he has served in a number of administrative capacities, including vice president for academic affairs (1992-1998) and undergraduate chair of the Department of Business and Economics (2002-2010).

In commemoration of the International Day of Peace and to mark the successful completion of Friendly Water for the World’s first project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the university’s Center for Peace and Justice is honored to host Zawadi Nikuze on campus today (Friday). She will take part in a talk-back session at 1 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room, then speak in a Women & the Bible class in Hoover 103 from 3:40 to 4:30 p.m.

The campus community is invited to both events as Zawadi speaks about her work and the condition of women in the midst of the conflict in the DRC.

Zawadi is a women’s and human rights activist working in Goma in the Eastern Province of North Kivu, DRC. As coordinator of the African Great Lakes Initiative (GLI) /Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities (HROC) project in the DRC, for the past six years she has been working with rape survivors and their children on trauma healing and small micro-economic programs. She has been forced to flee on several occasions, only to courageously return. Zawadi is a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

Don’t forget to join us today (Friday) as Ralph Beebe, a professor of history emeritus at the university, hosts a book reading and signing session to promote his new historical fiction book Cousins at War: A Civil War Novel. Ralph will be in the second-floor lounge of Hoover at 3 p.m. Books will be available for purchase.

Cousins at War is the fictional tale of two cousins, Aaron and Joel Haskins, living in Maryland during the Civil War. They are best friends who share a birthday and just about everything else. As Maryland begins to prepare for the Civil War, they both must decide if they will fight. The cousins end up making different choices that forever alter their lives.

Weaving emotional decisions throughout, the book provides a poignant social commentary about the ramifications of our decisions, our roles in society and our responsibilities to one another. Beebe uses a tragic storyline to question the morality of war and educate readers by presenting an authentic view of the Civil War from both Union and Confederate perspectives.

Beebe has previously authored six books, including The Worker and Social Change: The Pullman Strike of 1894 and The Embargo. Published by iUniverse, Cousins at War is available online through Amazon.

We are joining together as a university to support two of our community members in need. On Monday, Sept. 30, we will host a “Be the Match” event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Our goal is to get between 200 and 300 people registered as potential bone marrow and stem cell matches for people in need. In particular, our hope is that someone on campus would “Be the Match” for Dianna McIntyre (International Student Services). The event will also benefit student Haley Bellows, who will be selling T-shirts to help fund her cancer treatment costs.

There are three ways to get involved:

• Register as a potential donor
• Volunteer to help with the registry drive (you can sign up for a time slot at this link)
• Spread the word to community members about the opportunity to register

Thank you in advance for your willingness to be a part of this noble cause. If you have questions, please e-mail Sarah King at sking@georgefox.edu.

The huge influence that American Christians can have through the voting process will be outlined by David Crowe, founder of Tennessee-based Restore America, at this month’s Newberg meeting of the Christian Chamber of Commerce of the Northwest. The meeting is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, in the Villa Academic Complex.

In 1999 Crowe founded Restore America, which seeks to mobilize Christians to register and vote in every election. An ordained minister, Crowe speaks and writes frequently on the nation’s spiritual heritage and Christians’ duty to participate responsibly in civil government and the elective process.

After graduating in political science from the University of Oregon, Crowe served two tours of duty to Vietnam as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy. He then served as area director for Young Life in Northern California and later completed four years of postgraduate theological study at Dallas (Texas) Theological Seminary.

In 1979 he founded David Crowe Associates, a multi-disciplinary consulting firm specializing in executive search, career and political counsel. He has managed statewide and congressional campaigns for candidates seeking public office.

The event is free, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Calvert will present “Quakerism, John Dickinson, and the Creation of America’s Two Constitutions.” Drawing from her book, Quaker Constitutionalism and the Political Thought of John Dickinson, Calvert argues that Quaker political ideas had a significant but generally unrecognized influence on the creation of the American republic.
