		<description><![CDATA[Having wrapped up our summer discussions on Culture, Art, and Faith last week, it seems appropriate to take time this Friday to rest from our labors and play games.  So we will.  Randy and Christina Mathison have kindly agreed to host an end-of-summer extravaganza of fellowship and competition at their home. Please email <a href="mailto:jackson.1853@polisci.osu.edu" target="_blank" >jackson.1853@polisci.osu.edu</a> for directions. The festivities will begin at 6:30 and go for a while, and don&#039;t worry, we will order pizza to sustain us.<br /><br />So far the game possibilities include: <br />Cranium, Life, Apples to Apples, Trivial Pursuit Genus 5, Guesstures, Settlers of Catan, a deck of cards, and possibly Cribbage.<br />NOTE: If you have a favorite game that is not on the list, feel free to bring it along! <br /><br />Last note: Emails still needed!  Phil Jackson is still gathering OSU emails from all CGSA members who are enrolled OSU grad students.  This will help us get more funding.  Send these to Phil ASAP at:  <a href="mailto:jackson.1853@polisci.osu.edu" target="_blank" >jackson.1853@polisci.osu.edu</a>.<br />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CGSA is going to the Clippers-Scranton Wilkes-Barre game on August 20. Tickets are $10 and need to be ordered by Tuesday August 17 at 6 pm. Bob Trube will take ticket orders. Email <a href="mailto:bob_trube@ivstaff.org" target="_blank" >bob_trube@ivstaff.org</a> to request your tickets (saying your coming on Facebook is great but we do need your email as well!).  Look for more information in the confirmation email you get when you order tickets.<br /><br />For those who want to car pool, we will meet at 5:30 pm in the northeast lot of Ohio Stadium. We will also work out a way for you to pick up tickets outside the ticket office before the game and get directions to where we are sitting.<br />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#039;re in for a special treat at CGSA this week!  The topic for this Friday evening&#039;s discussion is iconography, and our speaker will be Father Nicholas, a monk from St. Theodore House, which is a small Greek Orthodox monastery about an hour away in Galion, OH.  Furthermore, to enhance the visual component of the talk, Father Nicholas has agreed to host us at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral.  This is a great opportunity, and we hope to have a big group to take advantage of it.<br /> <br />Location: In order to facilitate orderly and efficient migration from OSU to the Cathedral, we&#039;ll still meet at our usual time (6:30) at the Union, but this week we&#039;ll be meeting upstairs in the Ohio Union Hays Cape Room (3rd floor).  Note: Gathering at 6:30 is especially important this week so we can leave for the Cathedral in a timely fashion and maximize our time with Father Nicholas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After several weeks of focusing on the arts, we&#039;ll be shifting our focus this Friday to a rather different dimension of culture: politics.  Bryan Cole and Phil Jackson, both students in the Political Science department, will be leading a discussion about the relationship between religion and politics.  In particular, we will consider the development of political communities in the Old and New Testaments, what the examples of Jesus and the apostles can teach us about our proper relationship to political authority, and what we can learn from the Civil Rights movement as an example of prophetic politics.<br /> <br />Location: As has been our summer custom, we will be meeting in the Maudine Cow Room, located in the basement of the Union.  We will gather at 6:30 and end by 8:00, at which time we will migrate to a restaurant of our choosing.<br /> <br />Announcement: For those of you who missed John Acker&#039;s very engaging talk on sin in Christian art (7/16), the text of John&#039;s remarks and links to the materials we discussed are available at <a href="http://worldviewstudies.blogspot.com/2010/07/safe-lions-and-startling-figures.html." target="_blank" >http://worldviewstudies.blogspot.com/20 ... ures.html.</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please join us this Friday for the next discussion in CGSA&#039;s summer series on culture, the arts, and faith.  Shadwa Mussad from the Music School will be helping us think about what we can learn about music and the arts from the Bible, and what that means for us as Christians, both in the context of a worship service and in our everyday lives.  We&#039;ll also talk about and listen to some music, including works by J.S. Bach and others, and end with a time of praise and worship together.<br /> <br />Location: For the summer quarter, CGSA will be meeting in the Maudine Cow Room, located in the basement of the Union.  We will gather at 6:30 and end by 8:00, at which time we will migrate to a restaurant of our choosing.<br /> <br />Hope to see many of you Friday!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Friday we will be continuing our summer series on culture, the arts, and faith.  Our own Christina Mathison, a PhD student in Art History, will be leading our discussion, focusing on what God has taught her as a member of the visual arts community, how Art History has influenced her relationship with Him, as well as on what the church can do to support the visual arts community.<br /> <br />Location: For the summer quarter, CGSA will be meeting in the Maudine Cow Room, located in the basement of the Union.

		<description><![CDATA[Friday is coming, and that means the next installment in our summer series on culture, the arts, and faith.  John Acker, a second-year PhD student in the English Department, will be leading us in a discussion focused on the question, &quot;How can/should Christian artists represent sin and a fallen world?&quot;  If the technology complies, the plan is to start by looking at a song/music video and then move on to a discussion of more literary material.   <br /> <br />Location: For the summer quarter, CGSA will be meeting in the Maudine Cow Room, located in the basement of the Union.  We will gather at 6:30 and end by 8:00, at which time we will migrate to a restaurant of our choosing.<br /> <br />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Friday we will be continuing our summer series on culture, the arts, and faith. Hannah Rockey, a student in the MFA program here at OSU, will lead a discussion focused on drama. What is drama for? How can Christians in the field approach their work? We&#039;ll talk about these and other questions, and the evening may also include a participatory dimension. Get ready! It should be a fun and stimulating discussion.<br /> <br />Location: For the summer quarter, CGSA will be meeting in the Maudine Cow Room, located in the basement of the Union.

		<description><![CDATA[Instead of a regular meeting this week, we will be heading downtown for Red, White, and Boom.  As we have done in past years, we will gather on campus--this time in the Maudine Cow Room (basement of the Union)--at 6:30 and have dinner at a nearby establishment.  After dinner, we will take the bus downtown and make our way toward Long St. and Battelle Park to find a place to watch the show.<br /> <br />Things you might want to bring with you:<br />1) games (e.g. playing cards or small board games) to pass the time until the fireworks at 10:00<br />2) cash (in case you get hungry while we&#039;re downtown)<br />3) blanket (or something else to sit on)]]></description>
