Upfront Musings

From June 1993 through August 2005, I had the great privilege of serving as Nyack College's eleventh president. These dozen years were marked by many divine blessings: spiritual revival, enrollment growth, urban campus planting, facility enhancement, degree additions, diversity awards, integration of college and seminary, and many more blessings. During that time I began the discipline of writing a one-page (two sides) monthly paper that I called Upfront. The name was chosen to indicate my intention to be as transparent and above board as possible with the readers. Most of those articles, as well as convocation addresses and other timely messages are found in this book. They cover topics that show the interplay between Christ and culture, and particularly the world of the emerging X Generation.
