Traditions and innovations keep us in equilibrium. Some of our life together dulls the inquiry but Some of our touches sharpen the vision into action.

INTERACTING

Peggy Shenk Administrative Assistant Christian education is a primary mission of the church. This vision has guided Esther and me in service at Eastern Mennonite College the past fifteen years. We have sought to articulate and exemplify what it means to take Christ seriously in life and service. The dynamic of EMC is the common commitment of faculty, staff, and the student body which has selected EMC, to the enterprise of Christian education. Education is not Christian simply by having a program of secular education with some requirements such as chapel and a few Bible classes added to the program. Education is Christian insofar as it centers in and focuses on the personal meaning of Jesus Christ. One of the most exciting things for me has been working with the faculty at integrating Christian faith in the total educational program. By special seminars, by IDS, from urban studies to Euro-terms, from chapel presentations to guest speakers of service in the larger world, from classroom to small sharing groups, this has been an exciting venture. But what has happened is prologue for the future, anticipating what the Spirit of Christ will do as He builds the Kingdom of God through the resource of His Church. 20 Myron Augsburger
