This week in Vespers, we encountered a passage in the Gospel of Luke in which Jesus told parables that depicted the God-figure of the story with a male and a female character (Luke 13:10-21). This may not be something that you have ever noticed before. If you would like to have a conversation with University Pastor and Dean for Spiritual and Intercultural Life Dr. Jamie Noling-Auth, join us this morning (Friday) from 9 to 9:45 a.m. in Stevens 209 for a conversation entitled, “The Parables of Jesus: The Use of Male and Female Metaphors to Describe God’s Character.”

If you are unable to attend this forum but would like to discuss this idea further, any one of the three university pastors would love to talk with you. Feel free to contact us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

All are invited to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture this Monday, Feb. 29, when Melanie Springer Mock, a professor of English at George Fox, speaks on the topic “Evangelical Popular Culture and the Problem of Gender” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The predominating messages about gender in evangelical popular culture are negative and limiting, both for women and for men. Melanie considers the source of these messages about gender, and why they can be so damaging, especially to young people seeking their vocations.

She also argues that evangelical culture’s focus on gender, sex and “biblical manhood and womanhood,” often premised on a misguided interpretation of Scripture, makes it especially difficult for people to live in the freedom and grace Jesus offers them.

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.

Would you like to help others learn through one-on-one tutoring? George Fox has partnered with Tutor Matching Service to provide a platform for students to sign up as a potential tutor for other George Fox students or local community members.
