recently read a book, Excellence Without a Soul, written by Harry R. Lewis, a former dean at Harvard University. In it he addresses these important questions: “What makes an educated person?” and “Can the professors and college officials know the answers?” He uses Harvard as his case study, but many of his conclusions apply to the rest of American higher education. Mr. Lewis finds American universities “soulless” and argues that they rarely speak as proponents of high ideals for future American leaders. He bluntly states that Harvard “has lost, indeed willingly surrendered, its moral authority to shape the souls of its students. Harvard articulates no ideals of what it means to be a good person. Universities should be about something and what makes an educated person.”

Nancy Pearcey in her book “Total Truth” states “In many Christian schools, the typical strategy is to inject a few narrowly defined ‘religious’ elements into the classroom, like prayer and Bible memorization—and then teach exactly the same things as the secular schools. Here we see the danger of the secular/sacred split: It concedes the ‘theories, concepts and other subject matter’ in our fields to nonbelievers.” She goes on to ask, “What is the antidote to the secular/sacred divide? We must begin by being utterly convinced that there is a biblical perspective on everything—not just on spiritual matters. The Old Testament tells us repeatedly that ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom’ (Ps.111:10).”

In yet another book, Faith and Learning on the Edge, David Claerbaut gives an in-depth analysis of how many in Christian higher education are separating faith from learning. When he was a student in a Christian college he felt he was “receiving a type of ‘baptized paganism,’ an essentially secular education delivered by a faculty comprised of Christians. It seemed as if I was being taught by professors who happened to be Christians, rather than Christian professors. In short, nothing in my undergraduate academic experience overtly strengthened my faith.”

Claerbaut’s definition of Christian education is “teaching students to relate every academic discipline to God’s truth and his self revelation in Scripture, while detecting and critiquing non-biblical worldview assumptions. It is a distinctly Christian view of what life is all about, about the nature of humankind, about what our purposes ought to be, and about where we are headed eternally.”

His definition of Christian education essentially defines the mission of Corban College. Our mission is to educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. We want all our students to consider their lives a ministry in whatever vocation they choose. We base our philosophy of Christian education on biblical principles found in II Corinthians 10: 3-5: “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

John C. Maxwell’s book The Qualities of a Leader quotes Charles Malik: “The problem is not only to win souls but to save minds. If you win the whole world and lose the mind of the world, you will soon discover you have not won the world.”

We believe that academic achievement and spiritual growth will lead to well-rounded students and wellrounded graduates. As the Apostle Paul wrote, “In Christ, are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).”

Our educational goal is that all studies, philosophy, rhetoric are followed for this one object—that we may know Christ and honor him. This is the end of all learning. We do this so our students will achieve excellence with a soul.

CAMPUS LIFE

Corban Connection Holds Annual Brunch

R

esidents of Farrar Hall turned out in force to a brunch in the Psalm Performing Arts Center on Sept. 30. They escorted in the ladies of Corban Connection, an auxiliary group that meets annually and raises money for campus projects.

Linda Hoff, wife of President Reno Hoff, greeted the participants and coordinated the afternoon. During her presentation, she demonstrated the value of the ladies’ earlier contributions by drawing the stage-area curtains, which were purchased two years ago with $10,000 in contributions.

This year’s project was the collection of $15,000 to provide carpet for Farrar. Forty-two men, along with resident director Eugene Edwards and his wife Christie, live in the residence hall. Many students attended the brunch to describe life in Farrar and to express their thanks.

Corban Connection also provides scholarships for worthy women students. Last year’s recipient, Courtney McLain, thanked the ladies helping her pay for college. One of this year’s recipients, Jessica Brammer, shared that she recently married and discovered she is pregnant, so the scholarship is helping greatly. This year’s second recipient, Danielle Friesen, is studying in Oxford, England.

Eliminating the Sacred/Secular Split:

Restoring a Biblical Worldview

CORBAN MAGAZINE

WINTER 2007

Author Nancy Pearcey makes a point in her recent speaking engagement at Corban.

W

hen lecturing at colleges and universities all across America, Nancy Pearcey likes to tell a story about a Christian high school student. In one of the girl’s classes, her teacher drew a line down the middle of the chalkboard. On one side of the line, he drew a heart. On the other, he drew a head.

He then told his students that matters of faith belong to the heart, while science is the territory of the mind.

The teacher’s illustration sounded innocuous enough, but alarm bells went off in Pearcey’s head when she heard the story. The teacher, a Christian, had obviously accepted the idea that facts and values should be separated. He subscribed to what Pearcey and her mentor, the late Francis Schaeffer, call the “fact/value split.”

Pearcey travels around the country telling audiences that the fact/ value split, to put it bluntly, is dangerous, illogical and dead wrong.

A former agnostic, this Christian philosopher has spoken about it at Dartmouth, Stanford and Princeton, as well to Congress and White House staff. The author of Total Truth, she was the founding editor of BreakPoint radio show and co-author with Chuck Colson of How Now Shall We Live?

She spoke at Corban College three times in October, kicking off her visit with an attack on the kind of dualistic living demanded by the fact/value split. With humor and wit, she explained that facts and values aren’t separated, that what we accept as facts affects our values, and vice versa.

The student audience roared with laughter when Pearcey opened her first lecture by quoting the lyrics to a popular song that equates humans with animals. But they nodded when she quickly tied the song to society’s acceptance of Darwinian evolution: “People do understand the implications of the theory that we are nothing but animals.”

It does beg the question—does such a naturalistic worldview affect other areas of life?

Take sociobiology. Darwinian evolutionists say human behavior is the result of humans struggling to survive. Using that logic, “Every behavior that survives today must have had an advantage or it would have been weeded out by natural selection,” said Pearcey. This has led to shocking conclusions among a handful of scientists: theories that rape and incest have some kind of “adaptive function,” she continued.

How about philosophy? Naturalists postulate that people choose their morals, values and laws for one reason—to aid survival. Actions shouldn’t be viewed as right or wrong but as useful or non-useful, according to naturalist psychologist and philosopher William James: “‘You don’t ask if an idea is true. You ask if it works. It’s like a fork. If it doesn’t work for soup, get a spoon.’” This makes for naturalists to see abortion as a solution to overpopulation, poverty or pollution, Pearcey said.

If it’s really impossible to live the fact/value split, why do so many Christians find themselves accepting the artificial divide between head and heart—and squeeze their faith into a confined space?

“We are living in the first time in history where Christianity has been boxed into the private sphere and has largely stopped speaking in the public sphere,” Pearcey said. “As a result, our lives are often fractured and fragmented, with our faith firmly locked into the private realm of church and family, where it rarely has a chance to inform our life and work in the public realm.”

In large part, evangelical Christians have done this to themselves, she said. The First and Second Great Awakenings in the 1700s, characterized by emotional revivalist meetings, brought the Gospel to the American frontier. While rejecting the spiritual coldness of the Enlightenment, many believers went too far and rejected intellectualism altogether, she said. Uneducated Christians didn’t learn how to defend their faith against philosophies of the day and, as a result, either confined the faith to “matters of the heart” or wove their theology together with the day’s prevailing political and philosophical theories.

“Christianity was not shaping the culture so much as the culture planners, police officers, professors, athletes, store managers—these was shaping Christianity,” Pearcey said. professionals lose power, fulfillment and joy when they separate their In the 20th century, evangelicals have shown a surging interest values from their “fact-based” jobs, Pearcey argued. in regaining the “Christian mind,” Pearcey said, adding, “The great In reality the Christian worldview has a lot to offer society, Pearcey historian of religion Martin Marty once said every religion serves said.

At the hour’s end, they’d sung, danced, played pan flutes and a xylophone and pounded out rhythm after intoxicating rhythm on hand drums.

gandan orphans are the children with hungry eyes staring from newspaper pages. They’re the prey of a violent rebel army in the documentary “Invisible Children.” And they’re the 10 healthy, drum-beating, dancing, singing children who mesmerized a Corban chapel audience.

Five girls and five boys commanded the stage in the Psalm Performing Arts Center for an hour in September. Their appearances at West Coast churches and campuses raised awareness about the estimated 2 million orphans in Uganda.

Like others orphaned by AIDS, some may have a living mother but no financial support.

These children are the lucky ones. Thanks to sponsors, they live at Childcare International’s orphanage on Uganda’s Lake Victoria.

“A lot of these children literally had nothing, and they were living minute-to-minute, wondering where their next meal would come from,” said Tom Robertson ‘82, a Corban alumnus who brought the group to campus.

The orphans began their show with an African praise song, “Let Everybody Praise the Lord.” Then came “The Lord is the Way,” followed by English worship songs “Now is the Time to Worship” and “Shine, Jesus, Shine.”

The second half of the show gave the audience a glimpse of Africa’s rich song and dance tradition. Wearing shimmering

as they did what they knew best, made you praise the Creator of variety,” said Corban staff member Tina Brown. “You felt so thankful that they could enjoy their lives with such passion and color despite all their loss and heartache.”

The college students responded with more than applause. Karen Choto, a Corban student from Zimbabwe, organized a spurof-the-moment hospitality day. She and other students played soccer with the kids and took them shopping.

“We bought them jeans, shirts, underwear and socks for either school or at home,” Choto said. “The kids responded in a very grateful manner. I wished I could adopt one, if not all, of them.”

Other students committed to sponsor orphans. Although Robertson told them not to feel pressed to donate while paying for college, many gave anyway. Perhaps the orphans’ presentations of “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful,” still rang in their ears as they filled out sponsorship cards.

New building named John G. Balyo Hall

Dr. Reno Hoff presents a plaque to John and Betty Balyo during chapel celebrating the naming of the new residence hall.

n November, the occupants of Corban’s recently completed residence hall proudly gave themselves a new name— “the Balyo girls.”

The women’s residence hall was officially named after President Emeritus John G. Balyo at a celebratory chapel and ribbon-cutting on Nov. 10. This announcement came five days after residents learned about the dorm’s new designation.

“I was really pleased when I heard because Dr. Balyo is someone I’ve always been aware of—and a man I greatly respect,” said Residence Director Pam Horton.

At the Nov. 10 celebration, Balyo ceremoniously cut a ribbon draped across the bridge leading to the residence hall. He and his wife, Betty, joined administrators at the all-school gathering.

Balyo’s history with Corban goes back to 1983, when he arrived to serve as president.

He held that office until 1991 and then 12

served as Chancellor before being named president emeritus in 2005. A graduate of Grace Theological Seminary in Indiana, Balyo pastored four churches and taught at three colleges, including Corban.

“Without him, we might not be here,” said Vice President for Marketing Steve Hunt. “He brought people together at a time of declining enrollment.”

Known as a gracious southern gentleman and a man of character, Balyo is also known for his love of the cartoon “Peanuts,” from which he pulled wit and wisdom for his sermons for more than 50 years. A fitting gesture, he donated a plaque—a set of Peanuts cartoons autographed by Charles Schultz—which will hang in John G. Balyo Hall for years to come.

Adult Degree Program alumna wins national award

Eileen Miller holds her award with Chemeketa Community College president Gretchen Schuette.

C

orban College’s neighbor, Chemeketa Community College, is a commuter campus in north Salem that serves 57,000 students. Corban alumna Eileen Miller’s job is to keep teachers and staff members supplied with everything they need.

After working 24 years in purchasing, Miller, 45, has tracked everything from million-dollar construction projects to bottles of Clorox.

“Probably the weirdest orders I’ve placed were for the school’s science department— pails of pig hearts and triple-injected skinned cats,” she says. “Of course, we still get those, but I don’t have to buy them.”

Since her early days as a part-time purchasing clerk, Miller, 45, has moved upward and onward—all the way into a top-tier job. As Chemeketa’s purchasing management analyst, she solicits bids and awards contracts on highimpact campus projects. And, this year, the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing recognized her work by naming her 2006 Professional Buyer of the Year.

“A lot of people I work with are technically good,” says NIGP President Darin Matthews.

“Eileen is set apart by what I call her ability to

be a relationship manager. She values people of all walks of life—from a janitor to a vice president—and that’s very obvious.”

Miller’s ability to balance nitty-gritty details (she remembers dates and dollars with frightening accuracy) with the big picture is the gift that came after a sobering battle with cancer. “Life is not a dress-rehearsal, “ she says.

The years leading up to Miller’s cancer diagnosis were full of promise. In her early 30s, she realized that she needed to finish the college degree that she’d begun at Oregon State University, but she was a working woman, wife and mother of two young children.

She did her research and chose a Management and Communication degree through Corban’s 15-month degree completion program.

“I realized that if I was going to advance I needed to finish my bachelor’s degree,” Miller says. “The MAC program gave me the confidence, more than anything, to succeed in my job.”

Three years after graduating from Corban, Miller, then 34, learned she had an aggressive form of breast cancer. The diagnosis, she says,

was “like getting hit by a Mack truck.” Over the next year, she underwent a lumpectomy, radiation, chemotherapy and a mastectomy.

Throughout the ordeal, she clung to the Lord.

“Jesus died on the cross, and he was dealing with a horrible death. I’m not asked to do that, and I know God was with me,” she says.

After her battle, Miller made major life changes. She’s been cancer-free for more than a decade and continues to excel at work, working toward her Certified Public Purchasing Officer designation and winning numerous awards. Conversely, she and her husband have decided to take time off to travel and spend time with family.

“I no longer wait for retirement to begin doing those things that bring me joy,” Miller says. “Post-cancer, I’ve ridden in a hot air balloon, taken up golfing, white water rafted with friends, cruised to exotic ports and seen countries and places I had only dreamed about visiting. I no longer wait for the ‘right’ time.”

“While cancer changed me physically, my passion for living and the emotional and spiritual growth acquired—on the journey down this potholed path—surpasses any scars left by cancer.”

Terry Finkbeiner ’76 of Connell, Washington writes: “I give because over time God has preserved and developed in the administration and faculty of Corban, people who understand finance, and who possess and instruct with correct theological doctrine.

I give because of what God has accomplished in my classmates; humble people, moving to places of seemed insignificance, doing the Lord’s work in love, grace and showing mercy. People, of whom the world is not worthy, treating the Word carefully, resulting in souls being saved. I give realizing I loved them then, and I love them now.

So I give hoping and praying these things will be availed to those who have, who are, and who will attend Corban College. A place I call home.”

Terry and wife Susan have two children and live on a farm. Terry likes to travel, study history: financial and geo-political. He also enjoys investing and trading on the stock market and futures exchanges.

Joyce Koenig Ferreira ’78 of Santa Rosa, California writes: “I contribute monthly to Corban because the college, staff and professors helped me to grow in every aspect of my life. I had grown up in a wonderful Christian home but actually had a time as a student when I was doubting God’s existence. Rich Meyers counseled me and gave me some solid advice that I’ll never forget. It was simple but profound during problematic times: “saturate yourself in the Word.” I love the rich simplicity of that. I have been able to share it with many people.”

Joyce taught in school for 26 years and currently teaches first graders at a public school. She has two step-daughters, and she and husband Larry attend Santa Rosa Bible Church. Her hobbies include quilting, sightseeing/traveling, running, visiting friends and decorating. In 1998 she was able to go to Goroka, Papua New Guinea, with New Tribes Mission for the school year. She taught a class of fourth grade missionary children. She said “What a highlight to be able to serve the Lord abroad, see a different land, and go out into the tribes where Christians are translating the Word in other languages.”

Helping the struggling student: Corban unveils ESOL and reading specialist programs

Graduate Studies Director Matt Lucas discusses the new ESOL program with Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Sang-Eun Dyer.

P

ut yourself in the shoes of Mario Perez.

Mario is a composite of a typical Hispanic student in an American school. His parents came to the United States last summer to find work. He’s in the fourth grade, and, like his parents, he’s just beginning to learn English.

Mario excelled at school in Mexico—his teacher said he was “bright”—but he faces a real danger in the U.S. Because he doesn’t understand much English, he’s falling behind in his favorite subject, math. His teacher is frustrated, too, and ready to put him in a lower-level math class.

The truth is that Mario’s teacher could help him if she were trained to work with English language learners. To get this helpful training, she could go through an English for Speakers of Other Languages program. An ESOL endorsement would help her teach Mario and others like him while expanding her employment options.

CORBAN MAGAZINE

WINTER 2007

Corban now offers an ESOL endorsement program, as well as a reading specialist endorsement program. Starting in January, teachers can earn these marketable endorsements while working full-time and/or earning a graduate degree at Corban.

Approved by Oregon’s Teacher and Standards Practices Commission this fall, these two 15-credit programs are the college’s answer to surging interest from schools and teachers.

“We’ve been interested in starting these programs for a long time,” said Graduate Studies Director Matt Lucas. “Now, as we’ve told candidates about them, they’ve said, ‘I want to start right away.’”

No Child Left Behind, Congress’ education reform act in 2001, has forced public schools to find new ways to help struggling students. As a result, more schools are looking for teachers with the training provided by ESOL and reading programs. While needing specialists to tutor, teach separate courses,

and review curriculum, schools also seek classroom teachers with such expertise.

“Now there is a huge market for teachers with these endorsements,” Lucas said.

Corban expects to hire two full-time professors to lead the new ESOL and reading endorsement programs. The college has already hired Dr. Sang-Eun Dyer, who will coordinate and teach the reading program as well as teach some ESOL classes.

Dyer, 38, earned her Ph.D. from Ball State University, and her dissertation focused on techniques for improving non-native English speakers’ reading, writing and speaking skills.

Her experience and education make her an ideal mix for the job, Lucas said. She taught in South Korea for nine years before coming to the U.S. to earn her master’s degree and doctorate.

“I’m excited to start a new program. I hope we can have many students and provide an education that they can use in practical ways as they help the struggling reader,” Dyer said.

New program classes begin in January 2007: •

English for Speakers of Other Languages program 15 credits

•

Reading Specialist Endorsement program 15 credits

Credits apply toward master’s degree.

Classes are offered spring, summer and fall. For more information, contact Holly Cozby, graduate admissions counselor: 503-589-8145 or e-mail graduate@corban.edu.

Alumni Abroad

Alumni embrace Saudi culture

The Remsburg family

B

rian and Maryann Remsburg knew their 3-year-old son Corban – yes, that’s really his name – had acclimated to the family’s international lifestyle when he stood in his front yard watching an airplane fly overhead and informed his playmate that it was a British Airways jet.

Now 6, Corban is big brother to 3-yearold Anya, and he’s spent most of his young existence living with his parents in Saudi Arabia. The Remsburgs are raising their family in an international environment—and loving every minute of it.

“The kids, they’ve grown up seeing different countries and different people.

They’ve basically become colorblind. ” Maryann says. “The other day, when we walked to school, I realized that I’d said ‘hello’ to people in five different languages.”

Brian, ’96, and Maryann (Fleischmann), ’97, teach at an international school for the children of oil workers employed by Saudi

The Born family

Aramco in the town of Udhailiyah, 1 ½ hours from the Arabian Coast.

As they make memories, they’re sharing them with close friends. Brad Born, ’96, Brian’s roommate at Corban, and his wife, Jennifer, recently moved from Washington to teach at the Saudi Aramco School. They have two children—Brendan, 2, and Lawson, 1 month.

At the 75-student school, Brian teaches math and science and is the athletic director.

Brad teaches language arts, history and social studies and coaches basketball and cross country. Maryann and Jennifer share a thirdand-fourth-grade teaching job.

“Our purpose in life is to do what God’s called us to do,” Brian says. “There are so many places in the world you can teach, from missionary schools to huge academies.

It’s such an adventure. It’s a great way to experience the world and get to know people.”

This confidence has given the two

families the peace they need to work in Saudi Arabia despite the risk of terrorist attacks on oil facilities and workers. They live in a gated community protected by fences, tanks and machine guns, and they’ve grown accustomed to encountering checkpoints whenever they leave.

They do, however, travel as much as possible, as they can buy gas for 60 cents per gallon. Their excursions include camping, shopping and, a favorite desert pastime, dune riding.

“We are having a great time for a ‘season,’ and we love the spirit of adventure that we are surrounded with,” Brad says. “We know that this opportunity is once in a lifetime.”

And the kids? For his part, the Remsburgs’ little son, Corban, seems to be enjoying life in the Middle East, but whenever his parents ask, “Where are you going to college?” he always answers “Corban College!”

Graduation Year: Did you attend college for a year or two but for some reason didn’t graduate? No matter how long you attended, you are still considered an alumnus or alumna of the Corban/Western Baptist College family. The alumni office records it as in this example: if you entered in fall 1981, attended three years and left in 1984 but didn’t graduate, you are associated with the class of 1985 because that’s the 4-year graduation date of your fellow classmates. If you don’t want to be listed with your 4-year class, please let the Alumni Office know. Having you listed in the correct class year is important, because we want you to receive your class reunion invitations!

Non grad (n): signifies alumni who didn’t graduate.
