steadfastly at the horizon. Its
distant hue and glow shapes our
vision of where we are going, and
energizes us to action. With a pillar of cloud by day,
and a pillar of fire by night, we sail, our direction
simple and affirmed. There is little time to spare,
and a sense of urgency pervades our journey.
Another team of hands, second to none, stand
ready to cast off from the harbor, at the sound of the
ship's horn, and carefully check for vaccinations
and passports—embarkation standards and requirements. What excitement, amidst the salty and brim
taste of the harbor air, as anchor is pulled and the
ship pushes forward.
On the seashore, parents and well-wishers gather
for goodbyes, content to trust the lives of their
young to the strength and engineering of a newly
refurbished vessel. Parents and families have
already sampled the ship's fare, heard of its reputation, and are convinced that it is adequately
seaworthy to be trusted with their most valuable
charges. The ship is designed to provide the best
possible experience for each passenger: comfort,
context and background in mind. This kind of
experience is more valuable than money or price
can determine. During their journey, each passenger will have the opportunity to sample fare on all
decks, decks stocked with academic, religious and
social delicacies.
President Lashley works daily to provide vision for
our newly refurbished ship.

necessary to bring a discipline of mind and habit

On another deck, academic fare boasts excellence and
thorough preparation, enhanced by interculturalism, language and technological proficiency, community service,
continuous learning, and the integration of faith and
learning. It is these herbs and seasonings, which characterize
the muscles and sinews of the future, for which the ship's
reputation is known. It is this food

LEARNING & SOCIETYBYERINREH
Community Service
Program
T
he newly established Community Service
Program at Atlantic Union College provides an
active and meaningful way for students to
integrate their academic education with service
to others. Facilitated by the John Henry Weidner Center for the
Cultivation of the Altruistic Spirit, the program is now a key
requirement for AUC's general studies program.
"Community service is a very important component of
our mission," says Ileana Douglas, interim Vice President for
Academic Affairs. "As Christians, whose lives are based on
the Gospel, we have to witness, and the best way we can
witness is by doing good acts for others, regardless of who
they are or where they live. This will give us the opportunity
to train young people not to take things for granted. We have
to give something back to the community; it's not only a
social responsibility—it's a Christian mandate."
Roger Preston, the director of the Community Service
Program, says, "This will help us become a positive part of
the community. Basically, we are helping students to understand that there is a need to do things for others. This brings
a sense of self-respect to students and teaches them about
other types of communities than what they are used to.
When we respect and understand other people, we begin to
respect ourselves as well. This is developing a true Christian
attitude."
Based on this philosophy, the program requires 40 hours
of community service to be completed by graduation, which
can be accomplished by a wide range of volunteering
activities. Students may choose to participate in a concentrated summer program or spread out their service hours over
the four years they are at AUC.
Benita Stevens, a sophomore Pre-Occupational Therapy
major, has participated by spending one hour each week
volunteering to keep the College Church clean and orderly.
Although she must transfer to another school next year to
finish her degree, she has found her experience at AUC to be
personally and spiritually fulfilling.
She said, "I've completed 160 hours of observation and
volunteering for my major, but my work at the church has
become more of a personal thing, rather than something I
have to do. I felt I was lacking something in my life. This is
one hour where I do something for someone else instead of
myself. I am putting my talents to use, helping someone else
and also serving God."
Darby Harvey, a senior Art major, has taken community
service in a different direction. "My time with the Maranath2
trip in Nirgua, Venezuela, was a very positive experience," he
said. "The work that we were doing was quite vigorous, and
we had a lot of support from the students and faculty of the
institute as well as from the members of the community."
Projects included restoring the college's cafeteria and
repairing campus buildings.
Although neither Darby or Benita fall into the group
who must do community service for graduation, they have
chosen to do it anyway, and recommend it strongly to the
rest of the student body and future students.
Benita concluded, "This has been a good learning
experience. I'm glad the program gave me the incentive to dc
something I believed I needed to do."

TECHNOLOGY & EDUCATION
The Campus is Ready!

've been working in Academic Computing at Atlantic
Union College for three-and-a-half years, and it has
never been more exciting than it is this year. AUC is
confidently striding forward into tomorrow's age of
technology and communications.
LAST SUMMER
Last summer, AUC improved its internal network, using
fiber optics to connect the administration building, the
science complex, the library, and Founders' Hall. This
network enables faculty and staff to access and share informs.
tion across campus quickly and easily. Next summer, the fiber
optic network will expand to include the dormitories and
possibly other buildings.
"Teleteaching" also came to AUC last summer. Loma
Linda University and AUC began a program that offers
courses between the campuses using real-life video
conferencing. A very fast communications line called ISDN
(Integrated Services Digital Network) and special equipment
were installed. Classes began last fall. With this technology,

HONORS CORE:
Three Students Discuss
Their Reasons for Being in
the Honors Program at AUC

he Honors Program at Atlantic Union College
attracts students who are creative, inquisitive,
and willing to think and work hard. It also draws
students from a spectrum of cultural backgrounds
and with a variety of gifts and interests. Why do these
students join the Honors Program at Atlantic Union
College? The following
three Honors Core
students have an
answer.
Olivia Moses, a
junior Biology/PreMed
major, has appreciated
the Honors Program
because of her close
interaction with
professors. She explains,
"The classes are smaller
than regular classes, so
you get to interact on a
more personal level with phenomenal teachers like Mrs.
Douglas, Dr. Ball, and Dr. Wendth."
Olivia recently completed her final project for the
program—a directed study in cultural expression in India.
"Although I am Indian," she says, "I grew up here in the
United States. I didn't know much about Indian culture
before I did this project. It opened a whole new world for
me."
Elizabeth Thomassian is an Honors Core student who is
a double-major in English and Psychology and also the
Executive Vice President of the Student Association. She
believes that the program is academically challenging, but
she also appreciates the social interaction that it has fostered
"I have a lot of friends who are in the program. We have a lo
of fun attending the wide variety of activities that are
planned, like our retreat to Cape Cod."
"This retreat provides a good opportunity to escape from
usual academics," says Ricardo
Whyte, a senior Biochemistry/PreMed
Major. "We get to study things that
normally wouldn't get discussed in the
classroom."
On the most recent retreat,
students and faculty discussed freedom
in the New Testament Epistle of
Galatians. Other retreats have focused
on issues such as religion and gender,
suffering and justice in the Book of Job,
and the environment.
As to why he decided to join the
Honors Program, Ricardo, who is
presently the Student Association Scholastic Vice President,
remarks, "I wanted to really challenge myself academically."
And this is what he has found—a challenge. "The
program has introduced me to fellow students who are of a
very high academic caliber, students who take their studies
seriously. It is a benefit to compete with, not against, really
good students. I also think the teachers approach their
Honors Core classes with a different attitude. They expect
more, ask more, and design the program to challenge more."
ACADEMICS:
Interview with Ileana
Douglas, Academic Dean
What do you think are AUC's particular academic
strengths?
At our last visit, the New England Association of
Schools and Colleges told me that AUC has always been
Vhat makes AUC unique?
Our legacy at AUC is being one of the first colleges of
he Adventist system; we are pioneers. We are one of the few
_olleges in New England that is so diverse. We are working
ointegrate interculturalism into the curriculum. The present
cality of AUC is intercultural, multi-lingual, inter-generaional, and international. In a way, this is what is allowing us
ounderstand the need for community service as well.
Community service is reaching
out not only for those who are in
need but also those who are
different from us.
What is "intercultural
education"?
We believe, first of all, that
we are one in Christ; so despite
the color of our skin, the accents
in our languages, or the
nature of our
backgrounds, we
■re human beings. We belong to the human
ace. Because AUC is so intercultural, our
:urriculum has to reflect that. The reality in
he United States is that nearly everyone
eems to speak a different language. If you
ire going to serve society, you have to have
proficiency in a second language. We are
Dne of the first Christian schools that is
willing to integrate all these elements and
ay to experience a little heaven on earth.
We are not going to have a heaven for each
Dne of the different cultures and nations. We are going to
-lave one Heaven where we all are going to be together. So I
:kink that AUC is rehearsing for our future life, whether it is
n society or when Jesus comes.
The president is very
much involved in the
process of implementing
this across the curriculum in
everything we do—not only
how we speak, but how we
dress, what we eat, what our
music is, how we listen to
and report the stories of our
ancestors. We all have a
different story. We can
enrich ourselves as we learn
from each others' stories.
How is AUC bringing advanced technology
into higher education?
We are putting all possible resources into updating the
campus with advanced technology. In the library, we are
moving to a system of automation, buying new computers,
getting an Internet connection that will allow us to connect
to all the other libraries in the area. The Education Department and the Religion Departments are now connected to
the Internet as well. The dormitories are going to be connected to the Internet, and we are going to have new
computers in the dorms. Dr. Lashley hopes that by the year
2000 we will be able to have computers in each student's
room. We have bought new computers for the computer
lab—the old computers are being distributed to different
areas on campus.
We are planning to
have a high-tech
registration so
students can
register and preregister over the
phone and won't

come to the
Academic Records
Office. From our
collaboration with
Loma Linda we also
have distance
learning—the classroom of the future. Classes generated on
the west coast at Loma Linda University can come to the
east coast for students at AUC. We are planning to send
some of our classes to them next year.

nown for the quality of its academic programs—programs
hat are solid, programs that are updated, and not only that,
cademic programs that stress the values that form good
itizens to serve society. Our curriculum stresses faith and
earning, which is most important since we are a Christian
chool, as well as interculturalism, language proficiency,
ommunity service, and technological advancement. I also
'elieve that we have very strong faculty, who are renowned
tot only in the Adventist system, but also around the world.

January 17-19 were undeniably
the coldest days of the year. That
is when the Conference held its
annual Workers' Meeting. In
Bermuda for the occasion was Dr.
Rosa Banks, a Field Secretary for
the General Conference and her
husband, Brother Halsey Banks.
She did a marvelous job on Friday
evening by sharing a message
from Luke 5, "Drop Your Nets for a
Draught." She inspired us as she

Finally
at the Southampton Church
on Sunday morning,
when the wind chill factor
made the cool air temperature
feel like 27 degrees, Dr. Banks
again shared a message of solemnness to the Workers. The message
dealt with "Sexual Harassment

Church."
Sunday morning began with

Later that evening, dinner was
served at the Royal Hamilton

a king and queen. There was no
scheduled entertainment, so those
attending entertained themselves
with humor and music from the
most unlikely quarters. It was a
delightful end to a delightful

George Kretschmar New
Conference Youth Director
George Merlin Kretschmar Jr. was
born in Brazil to missionary parents. Though people asked him
frequently as a child if he was
going to "be a minister like his
daddy," he was firm in his conviction that he would not become a
pastor.
George attended Atlantic Union
College, where he met his wife,
Marilyn Caez. Marilyn was born
in East Hartford, CT. George and
Marilyn are the proud parents of
Kaiya Marie, now four years old.
It was through Marilyn that the
Holy Spirit gave confirmation to
George that the call he was feeling
to ministry was clearly from God.
He has been employed by the
New York Conference since June
1, 1986 in the following capacities:
Pastor, Niagara Falls and Lockport
Churches; Student in the Masters
of Divinity program at Andrews
University; Pastor, Norwich and
Oneonta Churches; Pastor of the
Union Springs Church, as well as
Chaplain for Campus Ministries;
and Bible Teacher at Union

Well lighted as well as having three

accommodate all music groups,
but there is adequate room for
small group practice on the flat
floor surface. Three large closets
hold shelves of music, band
instruments, and choir robes.
Music department chair Brendan
Krueger had on-going opportunity
for input so there would be space
for every need.
The facility was made possible
by contributions from alumni and
other constituents wishing to
support this project.
In addition to the new music
department, there will be two new
restrooms in the administration
building. Construction on the
restrooms is scheduled to be
completed around the first part of
February. An open house tour of
this new construction will be

Rochester Adventists
Celebrate "Unity Supper"
The holiday season provided the
churches of Rochester an opportunity to collectively reflect on their
past, their faith, their commission
and their goals. In a unique way,
the churches of Rochester reflect
the world church with its seven
congregations divided between
two conferences. They stretch
from Batavia on the west to
Williamson on the east along the
southern shore of Lake Ontario.
They also stretch to cover
African-Americans in three
churches, Hispanics in two
churches, and Caucasians in two
churches and a company. Also
included in one of these groups is
a hearing-impaired ministry. And
so, it was in the spirit of Christian
unity that the Rochester area
Adventists joined together to
attend a Tenebrae Communion
Service on December 29, 1996.
The term "Tenebrae" is derived
from the Latin word for darkness.
The service is based upon a
medieval Christian service in which

meal was provided that was
skillfully planned, prepared and
served in the gymnasium.
The harmonious participation
of so many individuals from the
various congregations, their
participation in the different
aspects of the service, and the
meal that followed was a very
convincing testimony of the unity
of the Spirit of which they sang.

the last hours of Christ's life were
celebrated by the successive
blowing out of candles resulting in
total darkness, and symbolizing His
death and burial. This darkness
was dispelled by Christ's resurrection, symbolized by the relighting
of the candles.
This ancient service has been
modified and the relighting of the
candles symbolize not only the last
hours of Christ's life and resurrection, but also the ending of the old
year and the beginning of new
opportunities.
The service which followed foot
washing was divided into seven
steps. Each step was presented by
one of the churches and consisted
of special music, an appropriate
scripture reading, congregational
singing, and the blowing out of a
candle. The relighting of the candles one by one was greeted with
the singing of "Because He Lives."
After the candles were relit,
Pastor Cornelisse presented a
summary reflecting on the past
year's events. The congregation

Northern Maine Baptisms
On November 9, 1996, the
Oakfield and Presque Isle churches
in Maine combined for a special
worship and baptism service.
During the Net '96 "2000 and
Beyond" Seminar by Mark Finley
seven people decided to make a
commitment to the Lord and be
baptized. Six of the candidates
were from the local area and had
been attending church regularly.
The other candidate, Susan
Peyton, from San Diego, California, was traveling to visit her sister
and friend in Maine and began
attending the seminars in Colorado. She continued to find
meetings across the country
including several in Bangor,
Oakfield, and Presque Isle, Maine.
Susan was in Presque Isle when

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven...Three,

The third and fourth graders at
S.L.A./Browning Elementary School
experienced a special opportunity
on Friday, January 17, when Grace
Corrigan, mother of Christa
McAuliffe, visited with them and
inspired each one of them to
"reach for their dreams."
Christa McAuliffe is remembered as the teacher who in 1986
at Cape Canaveral, Florida, along
with six other astronauts boarded
the Challenger shuttle which
unexpectedly burst into flames
72 seconds into the mission.
McAuliffe's nephew, Michael
Bristol of Sterling, is a student in
Browning's third grade. Through
this connection, Corrigan was
invited to speak at the classes'
weekly Adventist Junior Youth
(AJY) meeting.
Corrigan explained to the
students that Christa's first love
was teaching—working with
students just like them. An inspiring video was presented showing
Christa preparing for her "space

Corrigan then

an event which occurred before
the children listening had even
been born.
McAuliffe's dream that students
become excited about learning
lives on through her mother who
has been regularly meeting with
young people for the last ten
years. The inspiration to "reach for
their dreams" could be seen in the
shining faces of the Browning
children as they presented
Corrigan with a bouquet of flowers
at the end of the presentation.

As if that wasn't enough, Dr. Heald
as also written several papers and ardes including a document he titled "The
it and Soul of Medicine." The premise
f this piece, said Dr. Heald, is sound
medicine for any physician. In the
document, Dr. Heald indicates that one
of the most important issues facing
American physicians today is how to
maintain and nurture the art of medicine
in patient care.
"With the explosion of medical and
scientific information, one can easily be
overwhelmed and obsessed with good
technical results at the expense of the
patient's needs, wishes and feelings,"
noted Dr. Heald.
A special reception was held in Dr.
Heald's and Jean's honor on Jan. 24, 1997,
just a few days before Dr. Heald officially
retired (Jan. 31).
