Happy Holidays!

Hope you're doing well and that you had a nice Thanksgiving!

Have you gotten any snow at Pitt yet?

How have you been? I don't talk to you much anymore!

I understand not liking the message of The Golden Compass from what I read from the group's info, although I've never read the book and obviously haven't seen the movie (since it hasn't come out yet). However, the group asks Christians to "stand together and fight against this film." And I ask, why? The entire world view is against Christianity, this is what Christians have to live with, and if they don't realize that, then they are being blind to the world. What I would rather have them do is fight against Christians who attempt to represent the faith, yet horribly misconstrue the facts. The movie is obviously (or should I say, probably) not made by Christians. If it was, I would say, go for it. They are misrepresenting Christianity. Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians, "What business is it of mind to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. 'Expel the wicked man from among you.'" (5:14

PS: Happy Holidays! Are you thinking about an HES Christmas reunion?

I would be in favor of an HES Christmas reunion, but I wonder how successful it would be. Do you think our classmates would still be interested?

I don't know, I just remember us saying last time that we should do it again. Maybe we should ask?
