Alum and the Tomb of Jesus(?)

I think getting in touch w/anyone who wants to join a blog like would be fine, especially the people Peter suggested. I also saw on several commercials that the Discovery Channel is running a documentary by James Cameron on "The Tomb of Jesus", which supposedly is a discovery of an ancient tomb in southern Jerusalem. It is already causing controversy, with little backing by archaeologists as well as the obvious Christian leaders around the world. It airs in the beginning of March, so if anyone wants to watch, here's a link to a CNN article that discusses it and gives its air time:

Free food and an idea!

Maybe when Pam sends out the next email, it could be posted here, so we could all reply? I was going to do it for last week's, but that seems a bit outdated by now.

Ok, I promised free food, didn't I? Now, if only I could remember... Maybe it's because there's no DJ at this event? It'd be hard for me to do it if there was one. Heh, there's only two left, and since I haven't yet gone to these events, it seems wrong for me to comment, but if these lunches have been getting decent turnouts, perhaps they could be extended into the spring even without a DJ?

DJ or not, don't let a good thing stop (unless they're poorly attended, but I don't believe i've seen or heard evidence suggesting anything relating to that.)

Anyway, what was I talking about??

Oh yeah...

On Tuesdays this quarter, in Hobson Hall from 11 am until 2 pm, The Revs Ken and Miran Lee, United Methodist Ministers, are offering a free lunch to Korean, International, Methodist and Episcopal students. Students come and leave according to your own schedule. The purpose is to provide a time for people to meet each other and to get to know one another. The food is delicious, so come and bring a friend!

Including Alum?

I had originally typed this as a reply to Josh's wonderful post, but thought that it would be better as a new post, so that replies could be kept orderly.

Anyway, once we get things moving what does everone think about tracking down Campus Ministry Alumni? These people could include: Matt O (Cincinnati), Isaac, Megan (Hooters Girl), Tara and JJ, and anyone else.

We should certainly keep it small for now, but once we get things going, why not include alum? (And Tara and JJ, even though they're not really alum, but they're still members of our family.)

Posting

Sorry, everyone who is unable to post right now. I sent invitations to Pam, Brian, Matt Y., and Alex so they could be able to post, but unfortunately, I do not have anyone else's e-mail address to be able to do the same. Can anyone help out? Apparently, Pam has yet to receive my e-mails, though I have sent probably 3 or 4. See everyone on Thursday!

Episcopal Internships

I know I've mentioned before, and Pam has too, about different internship opportunities offered through the Episcopal Church. I know there are brochures at St. Stephen's which talk about the programs, but if anyone is interested in more information about any of the programs, you can check out this webpage which has links to most of the programs. There are short-term (8 weeks) and long-term (9-12 months) domestic programs and also international programs. Unfortunately, by now it's probably too late to apply for some of these--mostly the domestic internships programs--but I really recommend checking them out if you are thinking about the possibility of taking a year off in the future and looking to do something more than just work.

Father Matthew Video Series on YouTube

I don't know if anyone else has seen the Father Matthew videos on YouTube yet, but I thought I would share them with the group. These are a series of fun, creative videos by a young priest from New York talking about Anglicanism and the Church and other related topics to church ministry. You can find the list of all his videos here. One explains the "three-legged stool" of Anglicanism using puppets, another has him hiding an old "Episcopal Church Welcomes You" sign at his church, a third shows him playing the Super Mario Bros. theme on the church's carillon, and a fourth has him discoursing on a specific saint, etc. I commend them to you.

"Dead Man Walking"

"Dead Man Walking" is being brought to OSU by the theatre department. We have watched the movie, and anyone who is also interested in the stage production (written by Tim Robbins, the director of the movie), our group is headed to the show on Thursday, February 22nd. The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. in the Thurber Theatre (inside the Drake) on the OSU campus. The group will be meeting at 7 p.m. at St. Stephen's on the corner of Woodruff and High in order to travel as a group. Hope to see everyone there!
