Wednesday Night Wonder

String lights illuminate the floor and music spills out of Gough Great Room as the doors swing open and students funnel into the sacred space. This is Wednesday Night Worship — a weekly gathering for collaborative worship amongst the Eastern community: kneeling in awe, praying in confidence, and singing with boldness.

Creation Station

It's a Saturday afternoon at Esperanza College of Eastern University. Brightly-colored tables speckle the student lounge, mini-lava lamps bubble vibrantly, wires twirl around tables, and the sound of ice rattles as ice cream is made. Children from the community bounce from table to table, eyes wide with wonder as the world of science comes to life in front of them.

God Around The World

It is not hard to experience wonder in my discipline. Anthropology is the study of people and cultures around the world, and it produces an endless fascination with the human condition.
