According to the publisher, the book \u00e2\u20ac\u0153explores many of the complexities inherent in adoption and its relationship to spirituality, challenging us to move beyond the common mythologies about adoption to consider the more difficult questions adoption raises about the nature of God, family, culture, loss, and joy. Rather than hearing from experts in adoption, this collection uses the narratives of birth parents, adoptive parents and adoptees themselves, bearing witness to the ways adoption shapes its participants\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 spiritual lives.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Other contributors include <strong>Jere Witherspoon<\/strong> (Student Life), alumni <strong>Beth Woolsey<\/strong> and <strong>Kohleun Adamson<\/strong>, and <strong>Kimberly Felton<\/strong>, a regular <em>George Fox Journal<\/em> writer and wife of <strong>Rob Felton<\/strong> (Marketing Communications).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Halley<\/strong> and <strong>Josh Sauerwein<\/strong> (College of Business) won the best regional presentation award at the Accreditation Council for Business Schools &amp; Programs&#8217; Region 7 Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, Oct. 22-24.

The essay outlines a framework to incorporate political economy perspectives into economics courses in order to facilitate a more integrated classroom. It was written to help economists think beyond economics and is based on Nate\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lectures and a student research project in environmental economics. Nate says the motivation for the project came from his experiences rock climbing in Portland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin T.
