With our nation in turmoil, would you like to explore how Christians can help heal our political culture? If so, apply for the Civility Project Reading Group.
We will select ten students for this project. Group members are expected to read and/or write for one to two hours in preparation for each hour-long weekly meeting. We will meet in person — COVID permitting — at a time the group selects.
The group will work with Jonathan Kuttab, a Palestinian Christian lawyer. He will speak on campus (via Zoom) on Feb. 4 on Civility, Justice, and a Bill of Rights: A Vision of Israel/Palestine as One State. Kuttab will meet with the group twice between his Feb. 4 talk and his second on-campus appearance in late March.
Group members may also write for the Civility Project website to earn modest compensation for publishable pieces.
To apply, email the following to Civility Project director Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu by Friday, Jan. 22:
