Worldview Camp 2008

A couple weeks ago, a whole bunch of us headed over to CSU Monterey to participate in the second annual Gracepoint Worldview Camp. While we lived in dorms and ate DC food, we were studying very earnestly and listening to some good lectures--some from our very own Gracepoint Berkeley people, and others from the very distinguished Dr. John Bloom, holder of multiple PhDs in Physics and Near Eastern Archaeology. Irene, Jenny, Emily and I attended. It was an opportunity to study how Christian truths and principles apply to areas of our everyday life: abortion, eugenics, sexual ethics, the study of science, cosmology, authenticity and veracity of the biblical account, and more. The sheer amount of stuff was dizzying.

The days were packed with lectures, discussions with one another, (decent) food from the DC, games and sports at night, and even a bonfire on the beach on the last night. Add to this that we got a chance to hang out with Koinonia Davis who sent about 50 people, and it was a pretty great, community-building, intellectually-stimulating experience. Come next year!
