Mennonite church leader challenges Bluffton students to hear the call

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 22, 2010 - 4:04pm

In her Martin Luther King Jr. Day address Addie Banks challenged the audience at Bluffton University to rethink the meaning of Rev. King's life through the lens of Christian faith.

"While King's life is often understood to be about social action for civil rights and peace witness, the core of his life and witness was really about a willingness to accept personal transformation in response to God's call," said Banks.

Organized vs. disorganized

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 22, 2010 - 3:48pm

By the age of 53, you would think I'd learned the fine art of organization. But maybe it has nothing to do with age. Probably it's genetic. Here's where I get to blame my parents for something -- my tendency toward disorganization. It's all their fault.

So here I am...married to Mr. Organization himself. I'd hoped that after 30 years of marriage, I'd have gained some of his skills through osmosis. Nope. Hasn't happened.
