Leadership Fellows see a road map for Disciples
 Where is
the church going? What makes the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
unique and gives us such hope and potential? And what do new leaders
need to know to live into this vision? Answering those questions — and
creating many, many more questions — was the core of the eighth annual
HELM Leadership Fellows Conference, held this year at National City
Christian Church in Washington, D.C.

Many college classrooms are thought of as "religion-free" zones, even when it comes to the hot topic of the origin of life on earth. A movie now in theaters examines the academic rift between evolution and intellegent design — and the controversy that resulted when one professor lost her job just for offered the idea that evolution isn't the only theory. This has Sarah Cheon thinking about where God and science overlap.
A class on the sacred in religion and film introduced Caroline Hamilton to the idea of a scary God. Then a song confessing how much we don't know about God's power reinforced the concept. While Caroline still likes the idea of God walking beside her, her new concept of God larger than we can comprehend gives her a new sense of awe and of what is sacred in our world.
