After over 40 years, the theology department at 海角视频 moved this summer from the basement of Graf Hall to the church offices. The change intends to highlight the central role of PUC鈥檚 faith, be more present with the students, and collaborate better with the pastors and chaplain.聽In 1982, the department moved to the basement of the oldest dorm on campus as 鈥渁 temporary measure鈥� when the front half of Irwin Hall was torn down. Irwin Hall had been the center of campus, so a basement hallway was quite a demotion. Over the years, PUC has explored ways to put the department back at the center of campus life for practical and symbolic reasons, but nothing panned out.聽Theology faculty recognized that a larger building project could be years away, and in the meantime, they wanted to seize every moment to serve students. When Lead Pastor Nate Furness invited them to share the church office complex with the pastoral team, the move made sense.聽鈥淲e are excited to have the college theology department sharing office space with the church pastoral team,鈥� said Furness. 鈥淲e believe that working in close proximity will enhance collaboration, church ministries, and student involvement. The Holy Spirit...
