Movie Review: ‘Avengers: Infinity War’
by Hunter Johnson
The first Captain America film had just one superhero. Then the second Captain America film, directed by the Russo brothers, came along and starred Cap alongside three other heroes. The Russo brothers then returned for the third Captain America film, taking the character count to a whole new level at a whopping twelve protagonists, all with fully fleshed-out stories and roles.

Just Sayin’ – Loving the Sojourner
by Alex Hentschel
I am going to be up front with you: this column is not funny, because its contents are deeply, heartbreakingly serious. This column has an agenda. I have an agenda.
(Hey, at least I wasn’t deceptive about it, right?)
That agenda is to convince you that the cultural tone is wrong on one major point: the treatment of refugees and immigrants. Some well-meaning Christians have been led astray by the politics of fear. In fact, the rise of anti-immigrant and anti-refugee ...

Nestled in the suburbs of Atlanta sits the small town of Clarkston — the most diverse square mile in America, according to census data.

A Cedarville art professor is working on a new project to urge viewers to respond to the Syrian refugee crisis.
This will be the second refugee-related artwork by sculpture and ceramics professor Zachariah Benson.

New Civil Engineering Program Seeks to Have Worldwide Impact
by Shelby McGuire
While serving overseas, members of the engineering department faculty saw first hand the need for clean water and energy in parts of the world where these commodities are not readily available. They also saw how providing these basic necessities could pave the way for gospel impact. They organized a solution to this need by implementing a missions-minded civil engineering program at Cedarville.
"Our faculty sensed the need for a civil engineering program when we started ...
King’s Kids Ministry Invests in the Future
by Breanna Beers
Rather than “going into all the nations,” some Cedarville students are making disciples as the nations come to them.
King’s Kids, an outreach of Christ the King Anglican Church led primarily by Cedarville students, offers games, snacks, activities and Bible studies for refugee children near the Dayton area.
Since its beginning in 2012, King’s Kids has grown from a few neighborhood families to nearly 60 children between the ages of 5 and 18 who attend the program on ...
Different Types of Disconnect

by Zach Krauss and Alex Hentschel
Many refugees have been torn from their homes, had their lives devastated by war, or made an arduous journey to a new place with only their lives intact.

However, there are students at Cedarville who are learning advocacy and have had the opportunity to work with refugees ...
