			<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.

			<title>Fri, 07/02 @ CGSA - Red, White &amp; Boom</title>
			<link>http://www.osu-cgsa.org/blog/index.php?entry=entry100630-224903</link>
			<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>

			<description><![CDATA[This Friday evening will be the first meeting in our summer series focusing on culture, the arts, and faith.  Over the course of the summer, we will look at a variety of arts and fields of culture--from music and drama to sports and politics--and think about how we as Christians can engage with and participate in culture and the arts.  As a way of setting the stage for the rest of the series, this week&#039;s meeting will focus on the story of culture in the Bible, with special emphasis on the visions of the Holy City found in Isaiah 60 and Revelation 21-22.<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 />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Grad culture is a drinking culture.  Many of the gatherings and parties we attend (or even host) include alcohol.  How are we to think about drinking and drunkenness as a Christian?  If we think drinking appropriate, what should our practices be?  If we think we should refrain, how do we do this in social contexts where this is accepted or even seems to be expected?  Why do Christians differ about this stuff?<br /><br />Pastor Miron Lee of Grace United Methodist Church and the International Christian Fellowship (Se Kyung&#039;s Pastor!) will be speaking.  This is a question among Korean as well as American Christians and, as we&#039;ve discussed in recent weeks, there is much we can learn from brothers and sisters in other cultural contexts!<br /><br />Location:  We will meet in the Ohio Staters Traditions Room on the second floor of the Ohio Union.  We will start at 6:30 and end by 8 pm, after which we will go out to an inexpensive restaurant.<br /><br />The Word on the Picnic!  Thanks for your feedback.  Based on what we&#039;ve heard, we will move our picnic to Saturday, June 5 at 3 pm at our home, 8315 Yuma Drive, Powell, OH  43065.  The theme stays the same:  International.  So bring international food, wear any international clothing you have and be prepared for a good time.  We will say good-byes to graduates as well as unveil our new leadership team!  Lots of good stuff!<br /><br />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The university world we operate in looks increasingly multi-cultural.  Should our Christian communities and churches look like this?  And while we may be one in Christ, we may differ on many important things from the kind of food and music we enjoy to our ideas on leadership and gender roles.  Is culturally diverse Christian community an ideal to strive for or even possible?<br /><br />Our speaker is well qualified to address this question.  Sriram Sridharan is a Hindu convert to Christianity and leads the undergraduate ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the Ohio State University.  He is a gifted leader and speaker and works with a multi-ethnic team which gives leadership to a multi-ethnic chapter, a chapter for African-American students and a chapter for Asian-American students.<br /><br />Time and Location:  We will meet at 6:30 pm in The Ohio Staters Inc. Traditions Room located on the second floor of the Ohio Union to the right of the grand staircase.  After the meeting we go out to eat at a nearby restaurant selected on our Yahoo Group poll.  To join, visit the CGSA website, go to the &#039;contact us&#039; section and follow the instructions for joining the Yahoo Group.]]></description>
