President’s Message<br />
This issue of Spirit shines the spotlight on the arts, which are thriving both here at<br />
the <strong>University</strong> and Seminary, and throughout the world where our alumni take their<br />
talents to tell stories that matter. The arts, in whatever creative direction they take, are<br />
an integral part of a Christian university education. We praise God as Isaiah<br />
did, saying, "We are the clay, and you are the potter. We are all formed by your<br />
hand" (Isaiah 64:8-9).<br />
At <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>University</strong> we also regard each student as "God's masterpiece of art"<br />
(Eph. 2:10). Our mission is to help them grow not just academically, but also spiritually.<br />
Throughout their time with us, students are encouraged to express their love of God<br />
and the redeeming message of Jesus Christ through song, dance, the written word,<br />
theatre, artwork and instrumental music. There are a wide variety of performing<br />
groups to join for concerts both on and off campus, as well as the chance to make<br />
music or read poetry casually for friends at the Jammin' Java coffeehouse (or outside<br />
by the lakes if the spirit so moves you).<br />
I'd like to take this time to invite you to come and enjoy<br />
our many student and faculty performances. Their<br />
talent, training and enthusiasm will inspire you<br />
and uplift your spirits. And, as always, I thank<br />
you for your continuing support of our academic<br />
mission that integrates faith, reason and justice for<br />
all of our students. It is my sincere hope that our<br />
hard work will continue to earn your applause.<br />
Gratefully,<br />
David R. Black<br />
