Day 171: Why I Agree With Markwell

Image
At Northwestern, there are fliers, tshirts, chalking, and more all saying "I Agree With Markwell." This has caused quite a buzz around campus about who Markwell is, what he believes, and if I agree or disagree. Things exploded last Tuesday night when articles were published through student news groups , and people reacted with blog posts and comments. A lot of the online responses were negative or critical of the campaign. Even offline, people were talking. The residents that I live with in the dorm where I am an CA (aka RA) stayed up late into the night discussing the campaign and spirituality. I'd like to take a moment to explain why I Agree With Markwell and if you are at Northwestern tomorrow (Thursday), invite you to our keynote event . Thanks for taking the time to read this and please feel free to comment below and share your opinions. Firstly, I want to say that Matt Markwell is my buddy, pal, friend of mine.

Day 167: Penn's Perspective

Sorry today's video isn't particularly funny, but I think it's interesting in light of what's going on at Northwestern. As I think most people who come to my blog know, I am a Christian and involved in Cru (a Christian group with the goal of learning more about God and talking with others about God). Controversy has come up, but I think it's safe to say that this campus is talking, and that's our goal. Now this is a longer video, but I think it is worth watching. Penn is still an atheist , but he maintains this perspective on Christians. #Iagreewithmarkwell (check out the website iagreewithmarkwell.com and join in the discussion)
