Religious Studies is hosting “The Many Ways God Is: Toward an Ontological Pluralism for Traditional Christianity” from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, in the Hoover Lounge.

So many these days suggest that what is true is relative to human conceptual schemes. Can a traditional Christian consistently believe this? The answer is, “yes.” Come and see how to be a traditional, orthodox Christian and yet hold that God works in many different and conflicting ways across conceptual schemes.

Just a reminder: Daylight saving time begins this weekend. Officially, it begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, so don’t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour.

The housing office wants to clarify some confusion about how your credit hours work with housing:

What credits count for housing?
Your housing credits = cumulative credits + credits you are currently taking this spring

Do Fall 2008 credits count for housing?
You need to be registered for the fall, but these credits do not count in your housing credits. If you are not registered for the fall, then you will not contribute your housing credits to your group.

We hope this helps clarify the confusion. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Life Office. ext. 2310 or housing@georgefox.edu.

All staff members are invited to get together for the monthly staff lunch at noon Monday, March 10, in  the Cap and Gown Room.  The cost is only $3. Come for good food, fellowship, and door-prize drawings.
