What We Need
March 18, 2021 | By Hannah Turner BK ‘23+.5
This past year was not just different because I unexpectedly lived in my childhood home for 10 months. This past year was different because I was living at home as an earnest, believing, practicing Christian. I was not the child, the sister, nor the friend that people remembered.
The Gardener and the Grower
March 16, 2021 | By Gabbi Zegers ‘21
“What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth… For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 3:5-6,11
Pulled From the Law: Encountering Christ in the Flesh
Nov. 30, 2020 | By Justin Ferrugia TD ‘23+1
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Matt. 19:21)
I want to pose a thought experiment. Suppose you are a devout Jew in the time of Jesus. You faithfully and rigidly adhere to Jewish law. You keep the Sabbath and adhere to the Levitical laws of food, drink, and sacrifice. You are rightly and completely devoted to these laws, just as many of us are devoted to the doctrinal tenets of our faiths.
WONDERFUL CREATURES: An Interview with Marilynne Robinson
Sept 14, 2020 | By Raquel Sequeira TD ‘21+.5
“If you ever wonder what you’ve done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God’s grace to me, a miracle, something more than a miracle…It’s your existence I love you for, mainly.”
– Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
Come Together
Nov 21, 2012 | Shelly Kim PC '15
My biggest complaint since freshman year regarding the Christian community at Yale was that there were too many. On one hand, I was ambushed starting my first days of freshman year with love, baked goods, smiling faces of people who wanted to be my friend and people who wanted to mentor me. As long as you make even the smallest effort to seek a Christian community, you are bound to find more than you know what to do with. There was a point when I was going to 4 different Bible studies, 2 large group meetings, and 2 church services on Sundays so that I could figure out where I would best fit in, grow, and be able to serve. #Christiancollegestudentproblems
Christianity and Feminism
Nov 25, 2012 | April Koh TD '14
I am a Christian.
I am a Yale student.
I am a woman.
Three identities that are not too hard to piece together, especially when you don't think too much about it. A smart Christian girl. You see those everywhere. No surprise.
But press the issue a little harder. Look a little closer, and you'll see that those identities don't really blend all so well--
