In Dover, Pennsylvania, the question of evolution versus intelligent design has hit the front page. At issue is the nature of science. Is intelligent design science, or is it religion?

During these three days, students were exposed to a wide variety of speakers, shows

The Intercollegiate Gospel Choir Event was not just any concert, but a gathering of diverse people together to fulfill what is believed by Christians to be the greatest purpose of all humanity-to praise God. There was a sense of indescribable peace, and the songs of joy and happiness were great blessings to everyone present. October

“I wrote this book upside down and backwards,” first-year Becky Plourde said, referring to her novel, Rose of Many Colors, that was just published in July. “I wrote chapter 3, then chapter 20… I wrote the epilogue before the book was finished.” Becky grew up in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, with her parents and two brothers.
