You probably know that The Old Fool attends two informal ad hoc groups – The Sam-Hedron on Tuesday morning and Borderlands on Sunday morning.

Church
On the other hand, society must organize itself to reach it’s goals. Last night I was with other members of the College Mennonite Church in the regular meeting of its members.

Goshen College
Goshen College and College Mennonite Church are unique institutions. They are joint owners of the property they use. The purpose of the college as I understand it, is to test the values of the past, educate students to serve in the present and prepare them for the future.
Goshen College is thrilled by an increased number of Hispanic students that enrolled this year. It has organized itself to bring this about. To read of the work of Gilberto Perez and his team who made this possible click here. This is consistent with the Goshen College faith statement.
College Mennonite Church is grateful for the growing number of Hispanics who choose the church as their place of worship. To learn more click here and scroll through the Spanish to the English translation.
