Ozark Mind Games 2000 Report: Wednesday

We try to provide snacks to keep the students' energy up. Mind Games is the opposite of most camps; it's physically relaxing and mentally exhausting! --But that's not a complaint, we're happy to report.

The students are divided into reading groups, one per instructor. After lunch, the groups meet with a different teacher each day to discuss the readings that were assigned, with the intention of helping them develop their "discernment muscles." Not only the content is analyzed, but the world view of the authors. This exercise is invaluable in developing a needed "filter" for all the college reading they'll have to do! Here, Ray Bohlin leads a discussion from Wired magazine.
Todd Kappelman teaching an alumni session on "The Flow of Western Culture," with his world-famous (see the Slovenia report) 2500-year time line.
Sue Bohlin not only teaching, but sharing from the heart a Christian perspective on homo- sexuality. Every year, more and more students tell us they need this session because of a greater awareness of fellow students and co-workers dealing with this issue. Sue's involvement in a local ex-gay ministry provides insight and experience in helping our students grow in understanding and compassion.
