Gunman Looking For Innocent Victims In Amish School Shooting, Police Say. We're currently watching the live update for this local shooting which appears to already have received international attention and will go to prayer shortly. Please join us in prayer for healing of the kids and the community (note: Pure & Simple is an informative piece on the Amish). In addition, interceed for those who are considering themselves as those w/power over life and death, not only of their own, but of others (particularly young women). We earnestly long for Jesus' return when He will destroy the Destoyer, redeem creation toward its proper ends, and bring life everlasting. Join us in crying out, No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow. Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found. -- Joy to the World

Andy Crouch writes back to Edward O. Wilson. Just had to post this brief, sharp piece by an upcoming speaker for our work at Penn (note: he'll speak on Christians and Cultural Power: Where is America Headed?). This would be good fodder for Faculty/Grad conversation. Hoping to acquire a copy of E.O. Wilson's The Creation: A Meeting of Science and Religion in the near future. Just wrapped up IVP's Is Belief in God: Good, Bad or Irrelevant? Quite a good presentation of an email conversation between a faculty who follows Christ and a punk rocker who follows evolutionary ideas. Maybe a sample approach for on-line witness or even public dialogue :-)

Looking forward to InterVaristy's Oct 22 Baltimore Grad and Faculty Ministry Conference which will feature several faculty alongside Campus Crusade's Randy Newman wrestling w/campus mentoring and witness. Pray for graduate students and faculty to be reminded of this opportunity and set aside this opportunity to encouragement and equipping.
