Thursday, September 27, 2007, 11:30 AM - Friday Meetings
FRIDAY NIGHT(9/28/2007): This is our second regular meeting, and Bob
Trube will be speaking about our relationship with God.
TIME AND PLACE: Our meetings are at 6:30 pm in the Royer Student
Activity Center. You can find it on the campus map at www.osu.edu/map/
Royer is located next to Jones Graduate Tower. Go into the building
through the left of the two front entrances. At the top of the steps
you will see a room to your right. That's where we'll be. We meet
until 8 pm, then visit and go out for dinner at an inexpensive
restaurant in the area. Everyone is welcome and rides are available.
If you have any questions about location, or need help getting there,
please e-mail me.
UPCOMING ACTIVITIES:
Apple-picking at Lynds' Farms, Oct 6
The trees are starting to change and there's a chill in the air. It's
fall! There are plenty of good things about autumn other than the
start of classes=) We could have the opportunity to experience the
best of fall when CGSA goes apple picking! There are also lots of
other treats to buy and stuff to do at the farm stand like picking
pumpkins, trying fresh-made apple cider, the corn maze, etc.
We will be meeting at 2:00pm on October 6th (Saturday) behind Jones
Tower on Curl Drive. If you don't have a car, don't worry! Rides will
be provided. If you could drive then great!
Directions are on the OSU CGSA website, www.osu-cgsa.org
We hope you find a warm community and support at CGSA. Look forward to
seeing you there!

Thursday, September 20, 2007, 12:25 PM - Articles
In light of Luke's recent presentation on the relationship between Christianity and politics, some may find this editorial thought-provoking:
SEN. John McCain, on the stump in South Carolina, told reporters over the weekend that he's a Baptist and has been for years, a bit of information that might have attracted little attention were it not for the fact that the Arizona Republican as recently as June referred to himself as an Episcopalian in an interview with McClatchy Newspapers.
While proclaiming his Baptist faith might be of some utility in South Carolina, only four presidents have been Baptists while 11 were Episcopalian, making it unlikely that Mr. McCain's announcement was made for political advantage. It does, however, raise the question of how much faith might matter in the coming presidential election.
The short answer is: a lot, although it is unclear whether the candidates' faiths are more likely to hurt or help.
