Wednesday lunch mtg W2300 & other events
Dear PHCF,
It's the second week of term and everyone seems to be getting used to the rhythm of school again, but let us not forget to pray without ceasing for our community and our country. Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. (Deuteronomy 10:19) Yes, this verse is specific to Israel thousands of years ago, but it still speaks to us with great spiritual power today, and in turn, informs our understanding of how to treat those different from us. Even now, Christians are sojourners on earth until we arrive to our ultimate home with Christ in heaven. So, while we are still alive on earth, let us find ways to love the sojourner so as to reflect God's incredible love for us.

The Dialectic, a journal of Christian thought at JHU, is seeking grad student editors/writers for its spring 2017 issue. Please see attached for a list of abstracts. Some more details:
- If you'd like to edit, please sign up on the attached google doc with your name and email address below the respective piece. Your role: look through the piece at least once before the final draft is due on March 26th (if you'd like to be more involved, the full writing schedule is at the bottom of the document for your reference). We will connect you with the writer so a timeline can be mutually agreed upon.
- If you'd like to submit writing (1500-4000 words for essays, anywhere up to 1500 words for poetry), please email your piece to jhu.dialectic@gmail.com by March 18th. We will get back to you within the week concerning whether your piece has been selected or if additional edits need to be made. Unfortunately, due to printing constraints these pieces will not appear in print this issue, but they will be uploaded online and posted on our Facebook account (our FB account has nearly 400 likes and last year--when our account had only ~200 likes--pieces got on average 50-100 hits). In the coming semesters we hope to open up our print edition to grad students as well.
- Any questions? Please email Karl Johnson: kjohn198@jhu.edu
There is an upcoming weekend for graduate students to experience Washington, D.C. and to learn, from a Christian perspective, about the problems and prospects of the city.
You can learn a little more about this weekend here: http://www.gfmma.org/dip/ And you can learn a few other things about this weekend, and InterVarsity’s involvement in Washington, D.C., here: Washington DC Urban Program
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me. (Colossians 1:27-29)
