The sisters giggled together as they walked down the avenue to church in their Sunday best. Janie had a new purse, and they tossed it back and forth and laughed some more. Even the gray clouds and autumn wind couldn鈥檛 dampen their spirit. It was Youth Day at church, and they would be singing up front in the choir.Once they arrived, they slipped into the basement ladies鈥� lounge to freshen up before the program. Janie, the oldest, reminded Addie Mae and Sarah to get to their Sunday school class on time.Then Denise, Cynthia, and Carole came in and joined their friends. At the wash basin, Denise turned and asked over her shoulder if Addie Mae would tie her dress. The last thing young Sarah saw was her older sister鈥檚 hands reaching out for the sash.Then the room exploded.Nearly 60 years later, Sarah Collins Rudolph, the little girl who survived one of the darkest days in Civil Rights history, told her story to 海角视频 students at a special Community on Thursday, Jan. 12, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.With her gentle Southern accent, Rudolph told the students about Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1960s. About the atrocious Jim Crow...

David Bell has been a bass member of the Heritage Singers for over three decades. He鈥檚 performed countless times with the gospel group. But there鈥檚 one most memorable trip.A few years ago, Bell and the Heritage Singers toured the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and - what he said is his 鈥渇avorite city in the world鈥� - Prague. Local residents hosted the group and their families. 鈥淭hey were just the sweetest people,鈥� Bell recalled, 鈥渕y wife is still good friends with several of them!鈥滲ell said local residents recounted stories about living under Communism when religious music was illegal. They played the Heritage Singers albums in their basements. Some choir directors would listen to the music and try to transcribe the harmonies and create sheet music. They wanted to sing the songs, but any religious activity was dangerous. 鈥淵ou can tell they really treasure the freedom they have,鈥� Bell said. 鈥淣ow, a lot of times in the U.S., we can take our freedom for granted, and we complain about all kinds of things that are trivial when we鈥檝e never had to live under that kind of rule.鈥滷or Bell, chair of 海角视频鈥檚 Business Department, that trip showed the power of music as...

Sahmyook University President Il Mok Kim and PUC President Ralph Trecartin met on November 7, 2022, to officially approve this agreement.During their meeting, both presidents spent a few hours discussing multiple levels of involvement between their institutions. 鈥淭here was a very innovative positive spirit between the two groups of leaders looking for new and better ways for two well-established Adventist colleges to work together,鈥� said 鈥嬧�婫ene Edelbach, PUC Vice President for Enrollment, Marketing & Communication.A few years ago, President Trecartin stopped by Sahmyook University for church and to see the campus. As a visitor, he was amazed by the Bible studies going on everywhere and 鈥渓oved the intentional way they interacted with each person that came through the door.鈥� 鈥滻 was treated as family and invited for Bible Study, sermon, and lunch even though I had no connection with the University at that time,'' shares President Trecartin. 鈥淪ahmyook University is at the forefront in combining...

Three theology students from 海角视频 participated in an evangelism class last fall that allowed them to share their faith and the truth of the gospel with three church congregations and the surrounding community in San Francisco. The hands-on class ultimately resulted in nine baptisms.鈥淭he theology program at PUC is especially formulated to help students navigate our rapidly changing West Coast culture in biblically guided ways,鈥� said Chair of the Theology Department Jim Wibberding.Wibberding contacted Pastor Dan Serns, president of Central California Conference, hoping to collaborate with him on an evangelism class to take students 鈥渇rom theory to practice.鈥漇erns had an even bigger vision for the class.Along with area pastors and staff from CCC, Serns 鈥減ulled the plans together鈥� and gave the students a truly 鈥渄ynamic experience,鈥� Wibberding said.For 12 hours a day on eight consecutive Sabbaths in October and November, PUC students and participating church members led out in Sabbath School and worship services at three San Francisco Seventh-day Adventist churches鈥擯hiladelphian, Central, and Tabernacle. After lunch each Sabbath, students and local members engaged in community outreach鈥攆rom literature evangelism to Bible studies. Theology student Luiggi Loconi Cruz said his goal going into the class was to focus on youth...

In February, Paulin Hall will host the U.S. premiere of 鈥淛ericho Road,鈥� a musical written and produced by Lindsay Morton, associate academic dean for PUC. The show was first produced at Avondale University in Australia, and then in Sydney and Perth. As all three were highly successful, Morton suggested it be done at PUC. The rest, as they say, is history. Written in response to 鈥淭he Last Five Years,鈥� a musical by Jason Robert Brown, 鈥淛ericho Road鈥� is a boy-meets-girl, then boy-leaves-girl story. It centers on Leila, a part coincidentally played by PUC student Leila Beltran, and her husband, Jake, played by PUC student (and music major) Tyler Wilensky.鈥淚 fell in love with 鈥楾he Last Five Years,鈥� and found myself wondering how the story would have been different if the couple had been Christian,鈥� Morton explains. So she began pulling together pieces she鈥檇 composed over the years that fit the story she felt developing, and composed a few more around them. The driving questions of 鈥淛ericho Road鈥� are: What does it mean to be faithful to a spouse who is unfaithful to you? And how can we be faithful to a God who seems absent?鈥淚t鈥檚 a difficult topic, but one...
