Vine 93' To accomplish its mission in the world, the church has a growing need for capable young men and women who have a thorough education in religion as well as a solid personal religious commitment. On the La Sierra campus of Loma Linda University, the Division of Religion is helping to supply this need by preparing students for various forms of pastoral as well as education min istry. Education in religion is the highest kind of learning-because it is a person al encounter with ultimate issues and internal values. A major in religion is no easy road to a college degree. Besides calling for certain basic ability, it requires both dedication and discipline. It demands and certainly deserves, a student's best efforts. The academic vigor of LLU's Divi sion of Religion is personified in its highly trained faculty. This faculty is distinguished by writing and research accomlishments as well as pastoral and teaching skills. Manuscripts in process draw on the disciplines of old testa ments, archeology, christian, virtue church, reformation history, theology and social ethics. Such engagement in writing as research can enhance class room discovery. In addition to classroom activities and individual study, education in re ligion at Loma Linda University involve and leadership in witnessing and ser vice-opportunities that occur through out the school year, and in special sum mer programs, and include campus life, nearby churches, and communities action projects. Varied curricular activities provide partial experience. Externship makes it possible for ministerial and educa tional studies majors to find direct in volvment in local churches. Clinical pastoral education is possible at LLU Medical Center. And summer study in Israel is an option elected by selected students who desire field work in arche ology and Biblical studies. Further, extra curricular activities allow classroom theory to be translated into life. The Campus Ministries offer diverse programs for witness and ser vice. The City Parish Congregation unite faculty and students from both campuses to actively find involvment in the worships and witness dimensions of congregational life in a small church setting. Through study, research, writing teaching and doing, the Division of Re ligion faculty and students seek to con tribute skills and commitment in opera tionalizing the term Christian Univer sity. opportunities for personal participation

Mr. John E. Carr, Chairman EVERYBODY HAS TO EAT The Department of Agriculture Everybody has to eat and somebody has to provide the food to eat. The Agriculture Department is active in producing food and teaching interested students how to produce food. By combining commercial production with its academic programs, the Agriculture Depart- ment is able to offer career work experience as well as a college degree. Students looking forward to a career can specialize in Intensive Food Production, Plant Sciences, Dairy Science, and Poultry Science. Students who are only interested in providing food for their own needs can take classes which offer practical experience and tan- gible results. Students who complete the Vegetable Gardening class know that if the future doesn't promise all they hope for, at least they won't have to go hungry. The rapid growth of the department to its current size of 45 majors plus the increase in the number of non-majors taking classes is a reflection of two factors. First is a greater awareness among students of the need to learn some skills for a changing lifestyle. Second is the increasing need for more and better food around the world. The expanding career opportunities for Food Producers both in the U.S. and throughout the world is now at the point where there are more jobs than skilled job applicants. To meet the needs, the department is involved in training and research to prepare Food Producers for both domestic and international employment. Through the Loma Linda University Agriculture Assistance Program, the department is participating in projects in several countries outside the U.S. This participation, involving both faculty and students, demonstrates that not only is there a need but that the Agriculture De- partment is actively engaged in meeting some specific needs and providing a vital service to the church, com- munity and the world.
