I’ve spent the week at a “Big Data and the Church” gathering (which explains my blogging lack), and I heard lots of intriguing things. It also made me realize that many college ministers have access to many thousands (or millions) of dollars worth of research on their mission fields – …
This is an old Fridea that hasn’t lost its steam – with a month to prepare… October 31st is “celebrated” differently campus-to-campus, and many schools may not see much when it comes to the nearby weekend or the night of Halloween (this year it’s on a Tuesday, FYI). But other …
