THE FIRST WORD...
Life’s Framing Questions
A group of undergraduates recently visited our home for dinner
and conversation. At their initiative we talked about life—their
lives, of course, but also about my life, and the lives of others.
Our lives are our own, but how do we transform them into
lives lived for others as well—perhaps even lives of God’s own
choosing and direction?
One of the students remembered comments I made at the
fall semester convocation in 2006 when she was a first-year
student. On that occasion I had challenged our new students
with these words:
At birth we are each given a blank book. At the time of our death
we present a full and complete novel. We write the story of our lives
in this novel one chapter, one page, one line, one word at a time.
I had reminded these new students that at the beginning of their undergraduate
studies they were beginning a new chapter in their novels.
One of our responsibilities as educators is to encourage students to consider what they
write in the college chapter of their lives. Change will come, but what sort of change?
Will it be subtle or seismic? Who will influence the events of this chapter? What new
people will come into their stories? What people from earlier chapters in their lives
will we hear more about, and who will drop out altogether? Perhaps most important,
how will the events of this chapter frame the rest of the story?

Later that evening, after the students had departed from our home, I finished reading
a recent memoir by Donald Hall, the Poet Laureate of the United States during
2006-2007. In Unpacking the Boxes Hall writes, “One’s life begins on so many
occasions, constructing itself out of accident derived from coincidence compounded
by character.” This is a wonderfully crafted sentence; I only wish I could claim Hall’s
command of the English language. He chooses his words carefully and steers the
sentence so perfectly. More than this, however, Hall teaches us that life begins anew
with each chapter.

In this issue of the North Parker we feature the University’s Campus Theme
program—a tradition that brings focused attention to a significant question. This
year’s question, “Whose life is it, anyway?” is well worth reflection, by today’s students
as well as by each of us.

Undergraduate enrollment
reaches new heights
a variety of courses including Foundation
of Worship Arts, Planning for the Arts
in Worship/Music, and Congregational
Music for the 21st-Century Church. The
curriculum incorporates opportunities for
students to lead undergraduate and Seminary
chapels, and to engage in a supervised
internship at a church in the Chicago area.
In contrast, the graduate certificate in church
administration is a five-course sequence
designed to meet the needs of working
professionals, and may even be completed
online. A new seven-week course, Principles
of Church Administration, began in October
and covered the integration of faith and
business practices, strategic planning,
financial management, leadership, human
resource management, and reporting. It
also introduced students to the resources
available to clergy and church leaders to
help promote more effective management.
“Given North Park’s reputation as a national
leader in nonprofit management education, we
are happy to introduce a certificate specifically
designed for administrators working in church
and ministry management,” said Wesley
Lindahl A’72 C’76, Ph.D., dean of the School
of Business and Nonprofit Management.
For church administrators in the Chicago
area who wish to finish their bachelor’s
degree, North Park’s School of Adult
Learning also offers a bachelor’s degree
completion program with a major in Church
and Ministry Management.
North Park University has again reached
record enrollment, reports Mark Olson, dean
of enrollment and director of church relations.
The number of undergraduate students grew
from 1,854 last year to 1,882, with first-year
student enrollment jumping from 375 to
415. The number of new students enrolled in
graduate programs also increased over the past
year, rising to 720 from 691.
Since the University restructured undergraduate tuition in 2004, enrollment has increased
33 percent.
Admission staff have also begun attending
more college fairs. Last year, staff participated
in 120, whereas previously, North Park was
represented at roughly 40. Plans this year
include representation at about 110 fairs.
The effect of the tightening economy on future
enrollment is uncertain, adds Olson, but he remains optimistic about the University’s position.

Grant funding boosts programs
The Axelson Center for Nonprofit
Management was recently awarded a $25,000
grant from The Chicago Community Trust
and a $21,500 grant from the John R.
Houlsby Foundation to assess the financial
health of 300 nonprofit organizations in the
Chicago area. The funds are being used to
conduct both qualitative and quantitative
research across a spectrum of nonprofits of
varying size and scope—from community
centers, to family service agencies, to
community development organizations.
The research is being led by Timothy O’Brien,
Ph.D., assistant professor of nonprofit finance
at North Park’s School of Business and
Nonprofit Management. It includes gathering
tax and financial information from each
organization, which by law is available on
public record, and aggregating that data with
interviews among a smaller sampling of the
organizations. Results will be presented in the
spring of 2009 at the Axelson Center’s 10th
Annual Symposium.
“We are delighted to engage in partnership
with The Chicago Community Trust and the

forward to the results and anticipate that
they will identify strategies to improve the
financial health of Chicago’s human service
organizations and provide guidance for the

The Center for Faith and Health also
received an $8,775 grant from the Valparaiso
Project’s Practicing Our Faith initiative,
which will be used for a project titled
“Honoring the Body: Spreading the Word.”
The initiative builds on an earlier grant the
Center received from the Valparaiso Project
in 2006 for a wellness initiative.
Under the leadership of Mary Chase-Ziolek,
Ph.D., Center director and professor of health
ministries, the Center for Faith and Health is
seeking to strengthen practices of honoring
the body among clergy, in seminaries, and
in congregations. It will host three regional
conferences on the connection between faith
and health for Covenant congregations,
develop a dialogue among Chicago seminaries
on issues of food and faith, and contribute to
the professional discourse on clergy well-being
through publications.

Nelson, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree
in music education from North Park and met
her husband, Craig Lindley, at the University.
Nelson says she doesn’t feel like she is

was a world-renown scholar of the life
and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He
taught at North Park from 1960 until his
retirement in 1996 and was serving as
Research Professor of Christian Ethics at the
Seminary at the time of his death in 2004.
Nelson says she is eager to continue
North Park’s long tradition of teaching
educators how to live lives of significance
and service amid a changing educational
climate. Such lives require teachers to be
competent and reflective, she adds.
One of Nelson’s primary tasks will be to make
sure the school’s program is tailored to changes
in the field, including new technologies.
However, “Technology will never replace
the human element,” she notes. “There is
always going to be a need for face-to-face
interaction between teachers and students.”
Nelson earned her master’s degree
in curriculum development from
DePaul University and her doctor of
philosophy from the Department of
Educational Leadership and Policy
Studies at Loyola University Chicago.
Since 2004, she was the superintendent of
schools in Skokie, Illinois. She previously

WHOSE LIFE IS IT
ANYWAY?
by Jessica L. Allen

The tension between individual freedom and
community responsibility is at the heart of
this year’s Campus Theme discussion.
Christian theologian Paul Tillich once asserted, “Being religious
means asking passionately the question of the meaning of
our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the
answers hurt.”
At North Park University, although the discipline of asking such
weighty questions is often inspired by and rooted in faith, the
process is not simply a matter of being religious—it’s a matter of
being alive.
“If our object is to equip students for lives of significance and
service, then grappling with big questions is an important part
of preparation to do that,” says Professor of History David
Koeller, Ph.D.
Koeller is the former director of the North Park Dialogue
program, a series of courses that challenge undergraduates to
contemplate life’s deepest questions—from “What is truth?” to
“What does it mean to be ethical?” to “What is a life of faith?”
He is also current director of the closely related Campus Theme
program, which incorporates Dialogue questions into forums,
artistic events, film festivals, outreach opportunities, Chapel
services, and conversations that extend far beyond the walls
“If our object is to equip students for
lives of significance and service, then

of the University’s classrooms and residence halls. Since its
inception nearly 10 years ago, the Campus Theme program has
evolved to include a public lecture series that engages students,
alumni, and off-campus visitors in reflective thought about who
we are and how we should live.
“When I came to college, I was amazed at how much I didn’t
know,” writes student Matt Enquist C’2009 in an award-
winning essay he composed in response to a previous Campus
Theme question, “What is truth?”
“I thought I had things pretty well under control and that
maybe four years of Bible classes would make me an expert in
ancient Near-Eastern geography or first-century Jewish fishing
practices or something like that. But the more I learned, the
more pathetically small I felt. Sometimes it’s a burden that I feel
physically, the weight of ignorance. . . . The things I’m most
sure of are nothing glamorous. I believe in love working on a
small scale effecting change in ways larger than I could have
imagined, life lived in connection to the earth, to its creator,
and to his creations. I believe in the power of silence and the
rule of peace. I seek a kingdom of reversal, the meek ruling in
humility, the hungry eating their fill, the tears of the sorrowful
wiped away and wounds healed. All the while, I will trust and
cling desperately, often feebly, to a way illustrated by eating
simple meals with simple sinners like me, washing dirty feet.”
It is this type of reflection that the Campus Theme hopes to
inspire in all North Park students. This year’s theme, “Whose
Life Is it Anyway?” is a variation of the biblically-based
question, “Is my life my own?” How students respond to that
question determines how they relate to one another and to those
in the world at large.
As Tillich promised, sometimes the answers to life’s most
essential questions often take us out of our comfort zones.
When author and speaker Lauren Winner spoke on submission
to authority in an October 1 Chapel service, she highlighted an
important truth at the heart of the Campus Theme. Regardless
of the autonomy we may think we have as individuals, because
we are all a part of the body of Christ, we are accountable for
the decisions we make about ourselves because others have a
stake in those decisions. It’s a principle that extends to how we
use our time, how we use our finances, and “all sorts of other
topics that in America we think are private,” Winner said.
What are some additional topics?

FACULTY ESSAY
The Other Side of the Story:
Re-Evaluating Conflict Resolution
by Mary Adams Trujillo
Associate Professor of Intercultural Communication and Conflict Transformation
At age fifteen my world changed.
Before, my favorite activities were talking on the phone, listening to
records with my friends, or standing in front of the bathroom mirror
trying out new hairstyles. However, during my sophomore year in high
school I joined the debate team and the course of my future was firmly
set in place by these words: Resolved. The U.S. should adopt a system of
compulsory arbitration in labor-management disputes.
Something about “compulsory arbitration” and “labor-management
disputes” intrigued and captivated me. I was hooked, and began what
would become a lifelong love affair with the worlds of negotiation,
arbitration, mediation, and conflict resolution.
What followed was simultaneously exhilarating and frustrating.
Many practitioners we encountered had profound stories,
but were intimidated by the act of writing. So, with the
idea that lived experience is a legitimate basis for knowledge
claims, we, the Practitioners Research and Scholarship
Institute, began three years of writing workshops, mentoring
relationships, and conference calls. We then collected
material for an anthology. Through an intense process
of nurturing, editing, and cajoling, we came up with a
manuscript, submitted it to several publishing houses,
and finally Re-Centering Culture and Knowledge in Conflict
Resolution Practice emerged in the summer of 2008.

Despite centuries of conflict-resolving traditions from across the globe,
our voices and practices were not included in the literature. Like water

for validation, but because we had something to offer to a broken world.

after a long but satisfying voice rehearsal in
South Barrington, Ill. This recent graduate
is still settling into her new position at one

at this suburban megachurch is “Creative

In a short film produced by the church entitled,
“A Thousand Questions,” Irving takes viewers
on a powerful journey through the biblical
creation, fall, and promised restoration,
grieving the current realities of our world
through song and spoken-word poetry:
The earth is groaning night and day

Of dark disease and poverty
Of children in captivity

fellow alumni and their alma mater. In the fall
of 2006, Ryan served as the Seminary’s Pastor
in Residence (a program funded by a grant
from the Lilly Endowment), and in the summer
of 2007 he enjoyed a camping trip to Seattle
with five fellow North Park alumni.
He initially learned about North Park at
First Covenant Church in Seattle through
Covenant Beach Bible Camp. As Ryan prayed
for guidance and wrestled with decisions about
college, he felt that God was leading him to
North Park.
Amy learned about the University through
attending First Covenant Church in Mason
City, Iowa. She enrolled at North Park in large
part because of peers who attended, and because
the financial package she was offered made it
possible. She was also drawn to the study abroad
program in Morelia, Mexico, and to the Spanish
major, which well prepared her for a master’s
degree and a career teaching Spanish.

Now as parents, Ryan and Amy are looking to
their children’s future. As they worked with a
Covenant Trust Company representative, they
have been able to develop an estate plan that ful­
fills their personal and charitable financial goals.
In addition, giving back to North Park has been
a natural way for them to further the intent and
dedication of those who built the University.
And what is their advice to today’s students?
“This is a wonderful time of your life,” the
Eikenbary-Barbers say. “Take full advantage of
your opportunities, develop relationships with
faculty in and out of the classroom, and enjoy
Chicago’s cultural offerings.”

A Message From the President
Among the most popular sites on campus is the intersection of two pedestrian walkways that cross the center of the North Park
University campus. One path leads east/west from Carlson Tower to Brandel Library; a second path leads north/south from
Foster Avenue to the North Branch of the Chicago River. Our landscape architect marked the intersection of these paths with a
large brass medallion set in the brick walkway. The medallion combines the points of the compass with the University seal.
I’ve often thought of this medallion over the past year, as we have drafted a new strategic plan for North Park. This plan
begins with our institutional mission and identity and points the way to our future. It will serve as our institutional compass,
marking true north by the vision and educational ideals that direct our work. It identifies a direction—a trajectory. It doesn’t
tell all that we’ll encounter on our journey, but it points us toward the end we want to reach. It is a compass, not a GPS.
Our aspiration—the point toward which the compass directs us—is to make North Park University a
place of formational and transformational learning shaped by the Christian faith, our urban setting, and
multicultural relationships, producing graduates who lead lives of significance and service. The primary
components of the plan are summarized in a brief table presented as part of this annual report.
In addition to writing the strategic plan, we also achieved a number of other significant accomplishments this year, including the following:
• We posted an all-time record in student enrollment.
• The Seminary and the School of Music each successfully completed accreditation reviews.
• Campus authors published several books.
• Music CDs were produced featuring the work of our faculty.
• For the first time in the history of the University a graduating student received a Fulbright award.
• We provided $1.2 million in compensation increases for faculty and staff.
• We secured funding from the Kern Foundation for several full-tuition scholarships for students in the Seminary.
• Attendance at the Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management’s 9th Annual Symposium increased by 26 percent.
• We welcomed our new provost.
• We hired more than 40 new members of the University’s faculty and staff.
• We received an Award for Excellence in Landscape Architecture from the American Institute for Architects and
the Society for College and University Planning.
• Burgh Hall was renovated.
• The faculty by-laws were rewritten, and a new governance structure was agreed upon.
• We held the second annual Senior Honors Symposium.
• We graduated 611 students.
Of one thing I am sure: it takes much more than a president to successfully run a University. I am joined in
this work by some wonderful people on our campus who teach and mentor students each day of the year. More
than this, I am joined by people across the country who make a difference at North Park—people who provide
financial support to assure the margin of excellence that makes an education at North Park distintctive.
This annual report provides us a chance to celebrate a good year, but more importantly it gives us an opportunity to
thank the people who continue to support North Park University. Many of your names are noted herein.
Thank you for your partnership with us.

“These days, spending is tight and donations are rare. In such
times we give thanks that there are people like you who still find a
way to share. If not for you, I could not complete my studies and
would not be able to graduate next spring without considerable
debt—especially considering that my husband, children, and I are
all students. Praise God for your generous heart for supporting us
in this tremendous way!”
