I am a true Philadelphia Eagles fan, one that will stay with them until I die. These guys go out and play hard every given Sunday from September until the playoffs in January and the Super Bowl in February, like the 31 other teams in the National Football League. But some of the students at […]

What could one do with $2 million? People dream of winning the lottery or befriending a long-lost rich uncle who is about to bite the dust. Essentially, that’s what happened to Eastern, or at least to our seminary. That money won’t be coming to the St. Davids campus, at least not all of it. But

Trust me: do not let the fact that The Yes Men is a documentary keep you away from this funny and interesting film. Sure, it cannot compare to hilarious comedies like this summer’s Wedding Crashers, but I think this documentary can almost reach the greatness of last year’s Supersize Me.

The concert, which was the last of the “Art of Breaking Tour,” sold over 250 tickets on campus and about 900 tickets total.

Ten Eastern students recently put their faith into practice when they gave up four days to help with cleanup work after the devastation of hurricane Katrina, travelling 27 hours to Pass Christian, Mississippi. “I felt so insignificant because of everything that needed to be done,” sophomore Christie Davis said after taking the trip. “But in

Harriet Miers, White House Counsel and President Bush’s nominee to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, attended not one, but two worship services on Sunday, October 9, in her hometown, Dallas, Texas. After an early Episcopal service, she joined a breakaway group from Valley View Christian Church (her home church for over 25 years) in singing

Coffee is good stuff. It’s a perfect accessory for conversation. It’s a wake-up agent. It’s just plain tasty. Considering its popularity, you’d think the producers of those spunky little beans would rake in generous amounts of cash. But here’s the thing: they’re dirt poor.
