The Daily Bruin

Author Margaret Feinberg, named by Charisma magazine as one of the “30 emerging voices who will help lead the church in the next decade,” will speak at George Fox Evangelical Seminary from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Portland Center.

Feinberg’s presentation, “The Church’s Missional Witness in a Millennial Age,” is the latest installment of the seminary’s Ministry in Contemporary Culture Seminar series. The session will address how the church interacts with culture and offer insight into how Christians can reach the next generation.

The event also will include a panel discussion featuring six panelists of local church leaders who will give their perspectives and insights on the topic at hand. Feinberg also will present a second session, titled “Backstage Pass: A Toolbox of Ideas for Reaching the Next Generation.”

Feinberg has written more than two dozen books and Bible studies, including The Organic God, The Sacred Echo, Scouting the Divine and their corresponding DVD Bible studies.

The seminar will meet in Room 155 of the Portland Center. Admission is $20 for university students, employees and alumni. An optional deli lunch will be available on site for $10. Online registration is available at seminars.georgefox.edu. For more information, contact Jean Oehm Borgman (Seminary) at jborgman@georgefox.edu.

Online registration for the upcoming Intercultural Conference on campus is now live. Sponsored by multicultural student programs and the Multicultural Club, the free event is scheduled Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13-14. The deadline to register and receive meals is Monday, Nov. 9. Sign-ups with no meals will occur through the conference.

The event is a student-led initiative. Students would like the support of administrators and employees, as it is for the entire George Fox community. Shereen Sherman, president of the Multicultural Club, and 40 student volunteers are planning it.

The purpose of the conference is to highlight the diversity of God’s kingdom through cultural awareness, mosaic worship, and active discussions on how to bring together the body of Christ. Through encouraging open dialogue and providing a welcoming atmosphere, the hope is to bridge gaps between people and cultures.

To register and/or get specifics on the schedule and special speakers, visit this link to the conference’s website.

Please contact the registrar’s office – 1st floor Stevens Center – for information on withdrawing from course.

Reminder to students on the meal plan: 

Saturday’s breakfast and lunch will be served in the Cap and Gown Room.  Klages Dining Hall will be reserved for families and their students who pre-registered for the Family Weekend luncheon.  Registrations for the luncheon are sold out.

We are currently considering moving to a password-protected electronic version of the Bruin Directory instead of printing a hard copy. The electronic version would be available on computers connected to the Internet. It would have all of the same information as the current Bruin Directory and would be searchable.

We believe that such a change would be cheaper and easier for students and employees. Please fill out this brief survey to help us as we consider this change: http://bit.ly/4hHhki.
