A People’s History of Justice
Working today on the course assignments for a course I’m teaching this Fall at Kilns College called A People’s History of Justice in the Modern Era.
Excited about this subject matter and getting to spend time this Fall working through it with a group of students!
Here is the course overview:
This course will look at the topics of justice, injustice, human rights, politics and society from historical, theological and philosophical perspectives. This course will also pay special attention to developments in the modern era and the viewpoint of disenfranchised and oppressed people.
Kilns Viewbook
Check out the new Kilns College Viewbook designed by BrandNavigation here in Bend. The viewbook will feature prominently in recruiting and admissions.
Amazing all the things Melissa Sudduth has helped make happen since joining the Kilns team!!

The fundraiser works by garnering business sponsorships as well as donations for an exceptionally large and eclectic silent auction from individuals, restaurants and businesses (e.g. free photography session, gift cards to a restaurant, free babysitting, golf gift certificates, expensive paintings, expensive bottles of wine and just about anything you can donate and get a tax receipt for that people would want to purchase or own!)

Transitions Global
My friend James Pond shared at Antioch last Sunday about the trafficking industry in Cambodia as well as what it means to truly set people free.
I was able to visit James and Athena Pond’s Transitions Center in Phnom Penh this past January and really wanted the folks at Antioch to be exposed to their ministry.
Below, James shares about their story, the nature of trafficking and helping under age victims of trafficking and how work like this relates to our relationship with God.

There’s a choir in Boise made up of men and women from the Congo (Boise does a lot of refugee resettlement with Congolese refugees.)
The Congolese Choir sang at the Boise Benefit Concert as part of the Congo Benefit Project CD we did.
