For all students who have a ‘spiritual formation requirement’ (chapel requirement) starting in January 2009 you will contact the office of Spiritual Life if you have any questions about your chapel attendance or possible exemptions. The office of spiritual life will also monitor any deficiencies at the end of the semester. HOWEVER, the rules that are currently in the handbook will still apply.
For more detailed information check out the ‘new’ Spiritual Life website sometime during finals week.
To contact the office of spiritual life e-mail Kayin Griffith at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
For the FALL 2008 semester, chapel credits will continue to be monitored by Jere Witherspoon in the Student Life office.
If you are deficient in your spiritual formation credits in the fall you will need to reconcile them with Jere in the Student Life Office.

Dear student body,
A letter of forgiveness has been written to the students who hung the Obama cut-out back in September. We felt there was a need for reconciliation with this incident. The letter to the students reads as follows:
“Friends,
What happened in September hurt us and you. We do not want to push what happened aside, neither do we want to hold onto it and keep bringing it up. What we do want is for you to know that you are forgiven and still accepted as a part of our community. Know that you are loved by us and God”.
Now here is where you all come in. On Wednesday, December 10th at 8 pm-930 pm , this letter will be in the Bruins Den, handwritten, and ready for anyone who wants to express their agreement with this letter to come and sign it. I ask you to consider lending your voice to this expression by signing this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact Luke Tomlinson – ltomlinson07@georgefox.edu
