十字路口发生了什么?

 真理是什么?? 真正的新闻, 假新闻, and Good 新闻 in the Age of Information

What does it mean to tell the truth? Is there such a thing as "your truth" and "my truth"? Crosswise 2023 will explore how culture shapes its stories in order to present a vision of reality that may or may not coincide with Christian truth. Participants will be exposed to the industries of news and politics to discern how (and why) narratives are built. The goal will be to cultivate 批判性思维 and Christian discernment in the participants, so that they might be confident in the truth of Jesus and his resurrection.

什么是横向?

Why should my teenager attend Crosswise?

简短的回答很简单. Crosswise is a place where your son or daughter can practice wisdom. Crosswise will model what it means to be in dialogue: we explore how to think deeply, how to engage topics biblically, and how to serve God with our mind. It is our job to provide a rich variety of opportunities to have these important conversations over a five-day span. The topics we talk about aren’t going to have easy answers. 事实上, we expect that many of the participants will come to differing conclusions on the presented material.

In case that’s not enough, there’s more:

  1. For $349 your teen receives room, 膳宿3晚, program and special activities for 4 days (Sunday evening through Wednesday morning).
  2. Participants will have a wide range of learning experiences: Big sessions, 小群体, 分组会议, 计划活动, 特别活动.
  3. Each student will live on campus, getting a taste of collegiate life in a relaxed, 但控制, 环境.
  4. Crosswise has sought nationally known presenters who are leaders in their respected fields, as well as established Lutheran theologians to use as conversation partners.
  5. The event will be led from a confessional Lutheran perspective, though we expect a wide variety of denominations represented.
  6. Travel scholarships have been available in the past and may be available for out-of-state participants. 联络我们: (电子邮件保护) 了解更多信息.

陪伴

在横向, local church workers and Concordia students will serve as facilitators, 监事, and guides during our time together.

指导

Each Crosswise student participates in small group discussions led by a Concordia professor. 除了, the students can experience the academic and communal life of Concordia by attending 分组会议 that advance the theme of the event in the multiple disciplines of the liberal arts. These sessions promote an atmosphere of question-asking, 批判性思维, and personal interaction with our professors and staff. 最后, every Crosswise main speaker is made available for individual questions and conversation after his/her presentation to encourage ongoing relationship building.

活动

Each day we will have a variety of Community Life 活动. Some of these will happen off campus to nearby places of interest. Excursions in the past have included a beach trip, a Major League Baseball game and more. Excursions for this year's 夏天的经验 will be revealed in the registration confirmation send a few weeks prior to the event date.

敬拜

The themes we explore at Crosswise are always considered through the lens of Scripture. 在这里, we will cultivate an attitude of worship each day as we exalt our Creator God and refocus our minds on Him.
