The 2002 performance of An Evening of One Acts, performed from November 21-23, created three nights that were all laughter. The five short comedies ranged from 10 minutes to a half-an-hour, and included an act by the Drama Ministry team and a French absurdist piece.

Serving the Community
November 20, 2002
Over the years, APU has always encouraged students to get involved in local churches. In some cases, this involvement stretches beyond graduation, and develops into a lifelong ministry. This past weekend, a local neighborhood was touched through a handful of APU students and alumni who worked hand-in-hand with Neighborhood Christian Fellowship (NCF). The result: G.R.I.N.D. Skatehole (God’s Revelation in New Dimensions) celebrated its launch Saturday, November 16, 2002 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
Family Matters in the Harry Potter Novels
November 01, 2002
Despite criticism by well-meaning adults that the Harry Potter novels might lure child readers to fascination with the occult, the overriding truth remains that the novels consistently warn against the practice of magic by non-magic people, including all readers of the novels.
C.S. Lewis and the Potter Debate
November 01, 2002
Three years ago, I was approached by James Hedges, the chair of Azusa Pacific University’s Department of English, to teach a section of Children’s Literature in the Adult and Professional Studies Program. The course went smoothly until I decided to substitute Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J. K. Rowling for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis as an example of children’s fantasy. Why would a Christian professor teaching at a Christian university ask her students to read a book about witchcraft and wizardry?

Overcoming Fear
October 16, 2002
I am a young woman of many fears. I'm afraid of falling, heights, spiders, being left, the effects of artificial sweeteners, drowning, being weak, asking for help, and failing. (The latter two are the worst.) I had to meet all of these fears head-on in the first few days of the High Sierra Semester. Yes, I knew that I would eventually have to face them, but I was kind of hoping I could start with the artificial sweeteners.

Get Around, Get Around, I Get Around
September 10, 2002
On your mark, get set, go! Transportation at Azusa Pacific University has just become more convenient.
