“Being Christian in Today’s Middle East” is the topic for our next “Intellectual Feast” on Tuesday, April 9.
What is life like for Christians in the modern Middle East? Is being a Christian in Palestine, Syria, Egypt, or Iraq more of an ethnic/racial distinction or a term to describe a “committed follower of Jesus� What can we in the United States learn from our Christian brothers and sisters in the geographic location where our faith began?
George Fox student Moses Nijmeh (from Bethlehem) will be joined by friends from the Middle East to address these questions and more at our next feast, scheduled from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Hoover second-floor lounge.
Refreshments will be provided; the campus community is invited. The event is sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies. Contact Paula Hampton (ext. 2650) for more information.
Stop by the Stevens Center’s third floor this afternoon (Friday) between 3 and 5 p.m. to say goodbye to Sean McKay, who is leaving George Fox to go to Portland State University. Refreshments will be provided.
The university’s French and cinema programs have joined forces to present the second Fox French Film Festival on concurrent Fridays, April 5 and April 12.
Opening the festival will be The Intouchables, an irreverent, witty comedy about a paraplegic millionaire who hires a kid from the projects to be his caretaker. The film, which Claudia Puig calls an “exuberantly charming French buddy comedy,†is among the most successful French films in history. It shows at 7 p.m. tonight.
Also tonight, at 9 p.m., The Artist will be featured. The Artist, a modern silent that swept the Oscars last year, follows the rise and fall of a pair of actors during the transition to the Talkies.
Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crepes and other French fare during the intermission between the shows. Both movies will show at the same times on the two Fridays. They will be in EHS 102 and are open to the public.
Questions? Contact Isabelle Corneaux (icorneaux@georgefox.edu).

Are our students ready to beat the odds in their professional job searches? We have a way to spruce up those job-search skills through Optimal Resume on MyGFU/Career Services.
Students can build a resume, cover letter, interviewing, eportfolio, website, and articulate skills one competency at a time, or they can join us in the 10-Step program to become an Optimal Job candidate. The program is set up in BruinCareers/MyGFU; don’t hesitate to ask us about it.
Here’s a quote worth thinking about: “Your job skills will not get you a job … but your job-search skills will.”
