蘑菇短视频

Jesus declared that, by the unity and love of His people, the world will know that He was sent by God the Father (John 17:20-23). 蘑菇短视频 seeks to express love and unity as we embrace oneness even through our uniqueness. God uniquely created each of us, and part of that is ethnic and cultural.

 

蘑菇短视频 embraces the fact that our ethnic heritages and cultural experiences have shaped each of us uniquely. We practice loving each other as our many different stories collide in a beautiful expression of God's image here on top of Lookout Mountain. By engaging with other cultures, we gain a clearer picture of God.

 

 

Kingdom Unity Through Clubs & Programs

Outside of the classroom, 蘑菇短视频 fosters kingdom unity through clubs and programs.

• Alkebulan Student Association: Through this club, African students feel culturally free and comfortable with their heritage while serving others on campus. Students unite to help each other grow spiritually and connect with their backgrounds.
• McRae-Zellner Club: The club is designed to bring African-American students together to share the richness and complexity of African-American culture with the 蘑菇短视频 campus.
• Mu Kappa: Mu Kappa creates a sense of home away from home for any cross-cultural students who find themselves with an ambiguous cultural identity split between host culture and home culture (missionary kids, military kids, DODs, and others).
• Spanish Club: The club connects Spanish speakers from different backgrounds to explore the beauty found in this language. The Spanish club also serves the local Spanish-speaking community in whatever way possible when occasions arise.
• Intercultural Program: Through educational resources and opportunities for celebration, the Intercultural Program (IP) fosters a campus-wide appreciation of various cultures. IP creates intentional spaces for students in ethnic and cultural minority groups and also connects our International Student Support Network with students studying here on F-1 visas. One favorite campus-wide event is Culture Fest, a spring celebration led by IP.

 

 

Cultural Inquiry

Scripture clearly tells us that God鈥檚 people come from every human nation, tribe, kingdom, and language (Revelation 5:9), and that all humans are image-bearers (Genesis 1:26-27). Even more, God鈥檚 people are commanded to love the sojourners in our midst (Deuteronomy 10:19). Therefore, a Christian liberal arts education must explore the intercultural richness of God鈥檚 kingdom as we seek to better understand and love our neighbors. Cultural Inquiry courses will explore one or more of the following: genders, ethnicities, races, religions, social classes, disabilities, or cultures other than those that comprise the primary focus of Narrating the West. Or, a CI course may be one taught by 蘑菇短视频 faculty in an international setting. A CI course offered by a student鈥檚 major department may fulfill both the CI and a major requirement. A CI course may not fulfill the CI and another distribution requirement below. A Cultural Inquiry course code (CI) will appear with the course description. Students who successfully complete this requirement will demonstrate the ability to:

• Identify the role of races, genders, ethnicities, religions, social classes, disabilities, or cultures in shaping human knowledge and cultural production.
• Empathize with perspectives other than their own.
• Connect course knowledge to broader concerns for, and commitment to, the physical and spiritual worth and welfare of all image bearers.
