Don't miss out on Rev. Stan Archie... this Tuesday and Thursday at 11PM in the Chapel. I'm not sure what he is talking about, but he is a very passionate and seasoned veteran in fighting for social justice. Coming from one of the most violent cities in America, Archie has extensive experience that we can certainly learn from...
Archie is the Founding and Executive Pastor of Christian Fellowship Baptist Church in Kansas City, MO. He works not just within the church but also partners with state and city governments to make life better for those in the inner city. To give you a glimpse into some of his work outside of the role of pastor, Archie is:
- a Member of the Missouri State Board of Education (which is a very notable position)- President of the Kansas City Leadership Foundation (an organization devoted to community betterment and strengthening individual ethics and character)
- National speaker, workshop facilitator and private consultant in the following areas:Diversity/ Unity Training, Community Development, Conflict Resolution, Relationship Development, Urban Family and Parenting, Urban Development, Business Advisor, Leadership Development Specialist, Character Counts (Character Education), and National Adopt-A-School Implementation Training
With 20+ years working in Kansas City, partnering with other churches and organizations for causes related to social justice, I'm sure Archie will offer some great insights and wisdom. I've heard him speak a few times and this is one chapel you won't want to miss. Come to the chapel service at 11 and the Q & A /Free Lunch afterwards (on both Tuesday and Thursday). C-ya There!

I thought Archie's talk was quite insightful. It's important to remember that we need to check ourselves to make sure our thoughts are aligning with God. Hooray for Romans 12:1-2
did you hear pastor Arche's sermon toady on cultural change I thought it was excellent.
i though yesterday (4/24) was very helpful. i would've loved to ask a couple questions later. 1.) If the Sermon on the Mount is addressed to the pious poor, is Jesus really talking about cultural change agency in the first instance? (b/c these people had no agency except in the kingdom of heaven) 2.) is cultural engagement a mandate? (He came close to saying it but never did.)
hmm, i think cultural engagement is a mandate, but not based purely off of the passage discussing salt and light(matthew 5:13). I also think that cultural engagement looks different depending on the context and what you are trying to achieve. Yeah i don't think the sort of cultural engagement he was discussing can be mandated from the sermon on the mount, but I think the sermon on the mount is good inspiration behind the sort of cultural engagement pastor archie talked about.
