Th e C h ri st i a n S ch o la r
Discovering your purpose
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that
prevails.” – Proverbs 19:21
T
his year marks the 40th anniversary of one of
the most momentous scientific achievements
of all time. Forty years ago, on July 20, 1969,
American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin became the first humans to glimpse the heavens and
the earth from a new celestial perspective: the surface of
the moon. Armstrong’s famous first words – “That’s
one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for
mankind” – were followed by the implantation of
a marker to commemorate the achievement: “Here,
men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon
July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.”
Among the hundreds of scientists, researchers and
other personnel who worked tirelessly to make the moon
landing possible was ENC graduate Eldon Hall (48).
As you’ll read in this issue of The Christian Scholar’s Pillars of Excellence
feature on page 11, Eldon was instrumental in designing the computer system
that guided the lunar module to a safe landing on the surface of the moon. And
while he and other project staff no doubt experienced more than a few tense, if
not down right frightening, moments before Apollo 11’s landing, the mission
ultimately was a success, or as Eldon says, “It was truly God orchestrated.”
Eldon’s contribution to this historic achievement embodies the mission and spirit
behind Eastern Nazarene’s new slogan: Discover your purpose. First announced
to the ENC community in the Summer 2009 issue of The Christian Scholar, the
new slogan was the result of many months of thought, research and planning
by ENC staff, faculty, alumni and students. Working initially with a higher
education consulting firm, we conducted surveys to identify the distinguishing
characteristics of an ENC education. From this research, we identified four
core themes that resonated across the Eastern Nazarene community, including:
• Academic quality
• Proximity to Boston
• Caring, Christian community
• Development of global Christians
With these hallmarks of an ENC education in mind, we set about developing a
slogan that would capture Eastern Nazarene’s unique, mission-oriented environment, and an interdepartmental team led by Vice President for Enrollment and
Institutional Research Timothy Wooster came up with “Discover your purpose.”
It’s a good fit. For ultimately, what sets ENC apart from other institutions of
higher learning is our commitment to help each student discover his or her
purpose for creatively and responsibly serving God and serving others from a
spirit of Christian love. This issue of The Christian Scholar is filled, in fact, with
examples of individuals who have discovered their purpose at Eastern Nazarene.
From Eldon Hall’s role in the Apollo 11 mission to Mike Kent’s commitment to
helping fellow soldiers and veterans complete their education; from Professor
Jonathan Twining’s Animal Caretakers Team to Lora Wooster’s co-leadership
of ENC’s Micro-Enterprise Fund, Eastern Nazarene is truly a place where individuals can expand their vision and discover new ways of making a positive
impact on the world around us.
Look for the “Discover your purpose” slogan to become integrated into ENC’s
marketing efforts, as it begins to appear on our website, college viewbooks,
advertisements, billboards and more. And please share with us your personal
stories; we’d love to hear from you how Eastern Nazarene helped you discover
your purpose.
ENC’s new viewbook, image piece,
billboards and website all reflect
the new “Discover your purpose”
campaign.

NEWS BRIEFS
Fall 2009
ENC launches new website
Janese Free Receives Doctorate from Northeastern University
Janese Free received a PhD in sociology/criminology from Boston’s Northeastern University in August 2008. Her research focused on topics such as
criminological theory, juvenile delinquency, at-risk
youth, family violence and alternative schooling. Free
spent a year as a participant observer at an alternative
school for at-risk and/or juvenile justice involved
youth. Her dissertation was titled, “First Step or Last
Chance?: The Intersection of At-Risk Youth, Juvenile
Delinquency and Alternative Schooling.”
A vibrant new home page, an online campus tour and
profiles of ENC students are just a few of the new
features showcased on Eastern Nazarene’s new website (www.enc.edu), which launched in mid-August.
Visitors to the revamped site will
notice ENC’s online presence reflects the college’s new “Discover
your purpose” slogan and marketing campaign, with images and
brief profiles that illustrate how
ENC students have discovered
their own unique purpose
while here on campus.
The changes to the site are
more than just cosmetic, noted Webmaster John Shea.
“We launched the new site
on top of a state-of-the-art content
management system (CMS) platform that will be
deployed in a number of phases,” he said. “The CMS
represents a cutting-edge toolbox through which ITS
will begin delivering the next generation of ENC’s
web presence.”
Director of Information Technology Charlie Burt
added, “In addition to
enabling key ENC staff to
maintain their own online
content, the CMS ensures
that our website remains
dynamic, and enables us
to make timely and accurate content updates with
much less effort
than before.”
Burt noted that the
CMS is a product
of Ektron, a New
Hampshire-based
company founded
by ENC alums William Rogers – the
company’s CEO –
and Edward Rogers
(COO).
Look for more new web features – including blogs,
calendars, discussion forums, polls and social networking – to be added to www.enc.edu in the future.
Free writing workshops offered for ENC
students, local residents
Aspiring writers have a chance to have their work
reviewed and critiqued at a series of free writing
workshops now being offered by Eastern Nazarene
College.
Open to both students and members of the community,
the 90-minute workshops are held in Nease Library on
Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. At each
session, writers may bring four to six copies of a work
in progress for reading, discussion and feedback, with
sessions facilitated by ENC English department faculty
and senior creative writing students.
“This is a great opportunity for writers to receive
constructive feedback in a welcoming and supportive creative environment,” said English Professor
Marianna Krejci-Papa. “It’s not necessary, however,
for participants to bring works for critique in order
to participate. Developing writers can learn much
simply by participating in the reading and discussion process.”
The first writing workshop was held Tuesday September 8, with sessions scheduled to continue throughout
the school year.
MacPherson Completes D. Min. Degree,
Awarded Full Scholarship to Duke University
Christian Leadership Program
Eastern Nazarene College chaplain Corey MacPherson recently completed his D. Min degree at Asbury
Theological Seminary. He wrote his dissertation
on the use of the Internet as a weekly resource for
sermons. In his dissertation, MacPherson discusses
both the positives and negatives of using the Internet
as a sermon resource.
ENC Student Sings at
Fenway Park
An Eastern Nazarene junior achieved a lifelong
dream this summer, when she had a chance to sing the
National Anthem before a Red Sox game at Boston’s
beloved Fenway Park.
On July 30, Allison “Allie” Brookhart walked out onto
the field and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before nearly 38,000
cheering Red

family, who attended the Fenway performance
with her. “When you walk out onto that field, the
sense of history really hits you – the appeal of the
movie Field of Dreams,” said Brookhart’s father,
Larry Brookhart. “We all wish we could sit down with
a departed relative or friend and share the experience
of a ballgame together. To think that my grandfathers
watched Babe Ruth play in that park, and to realize
that I was standing in that same place, made me appreciate the lives of family members who have passed
away. I could still share this joy with them.”
While in high school, Brookhart sang in the school’s
Main Chorus as well as the Select Choir. More recently, however, she has been singing the National
Anthem for the Harwich Mariners Cape Cod baseball
team, which helped to prepare her for the honor of
singing at Fenway Park.
Yet while music is one of her passions, Brookhart
doesn’t plan to pursue a music career instead of education. “Singing and music are a hobby to me,” she
said. “If I sang as a profession, I feel like the stress
would take the fun away from it.”
MacPherson also has been awarded a full scholarship to participate in the 2009-2010 Foundations
of Christian Leadership Program at Duke Divinity
School. Made possible by the Lilly Endowment, the
Foundations of Christian Leadership program selects
20 people who meet three times a year to help “new
and emerging leaders of church institutions explore
their gifts for leading in the church; develop their
capacity for effective, strategic and theologically
wise leadership; and examine what it means to be a
Christian leader in a Christian organization.” Participants also learn to connect their fundamental personal
character with the specific gifts and challenges that
are required for transformative leadership.
Krejci-Papa promoted to associate professor
English Professor Marianna Krejci-Papa was promoted to associate professor this year. In other
news, Krejci-Papa recently founded an independent
publishing company, Arrow Press, in conjunction
with the ENC English Club. The company’s first
manuscript is expected to be published in 2010.
Krejci-Papa also attended a screenwriting seminar
with Ernest Thompson, Academy Award-winning
screenwriter of On Golden Pond. “It was exciting to
workshop a scene I had written with him,” she said.
Carleton joins BioLogos as project manager
BioLogos is pleased to announce that former ENC
English Professor Amy Carleton has accepted a position as the BioLogos project manager. Amy will work
with BioLogos leaders Syman Stevens, Darrel Falk
and Karl Giberson, providing editorial and general
office support and coordinating the activities of the
Washington DC, San Diego and Boston offices.
Yerxa Speaks at University of Virginia
Professor Emeritus Don Yerxa gave a talk in June
on “Writing History for the Academy and Beyond”
at the Jack Miller Center Summer Institute at the
University of Virginia. A shortened version of his
talk can be viewed on the JMC Blog: http://www.
thejackmillercenter.org/Blog.aspx.
Yerxa also participated in a Trinity Forum symposium
that brought together a number of campus ministers,
scholars, and other interested people. Held July 1718 at the Osprey Point Retreat Center on Maryland’s
Eastern Shore, the symposium’s participants included
ENC Prof. Karl Giberson, Darrel Falk, John Wilson
of Books & Culture and Daniel Harrell, associate
minister of Park Street Church. Prof. Yerxa is a “core
team member” on the Trinity Forum’s “Science,
Faith, and Truth” curriculum project aimed at campus
ministry leaders.

Micro-Enterprise Fund helps strengthen Nicaraguan families, economy
The Micro-Enterprise Fund steering committee includes
faculty, former students and Nazarene church officials. Front
row, from left: ENC Society and Conference Services Coordinator Laura Bragg (08) and Ashley Cornell (09). Middle row:
Rev. Lora Wooster, ENC Adult and Graduate Studies; economist Brenda Marenco; psychologist Maximina Flores Torrez;

E
astern Nazarene business students will soon have
an opportunity to learn more about the culture and
economy of Nicaragua, thanks to ENC’s MicroEnterprise Fund (MEF).
Launched in March 2008 with a donation from an ENC
alum, the Micro-Enterprise Fund works with the Church of
the Nazarene in Nicaragua to provide small loans to help its
members start or expand a business in Central America’s
poorest nation. And already, the program has provided ENC
students with real-world opportunities to see how small,
targeted investments in developing countries can reap both
economic and spiritual dividends.
“The primary goal is to partner with the church in Nicaragua as it seeks to assist its members in becoming more
financially stable,” said MEF co-founder Lora Wooster, a
recruitment specialist in ENC’s Adult and Graduate Studies
division. “In so doing, the church not only provides muchneeded assistance to its brothers and sisters in Christ, but
also empowers individual churches by broadening their

financial base and showing the community that the church
expresses its caring in tangible ways.”
Working with Dr. Helmer Juarez and Bob Prescott of the
Nazarene Church’s Central American and Latin American
areas, an ENC steering committee comprised of Professor
Bill Driscoll, Wooster, and then-students Ashley Cornell
and Laura Bragg worked with teams from the Nazarene
Church’s north and central Nicaragua districts to create the
infrastructure necessary to issue loans that typically range
from $300 to $500.
“The target population is men and women who would be
unable to obtain a bank loan,” Driscoll said. “All of the individual applicants are Nazarenes who desire to either start
a new small business or expand one already in existence.”
First Year Experience now a course requirement
E
astern Nazarene’s First Year Experience achieved
a new milestone recently, when the course became a requirement within the college’s General
Education core of classes. The decision to make
the FYE course a requirement follows a successful twoyear trial run, said Vice President for Student Development
Vern Wesley.
“As the Fall 2006 semester approached, the Student Development team discussed the fact that there wasn’t a course in
place for freshmen that focused on helping with the holistic
transition to college,” Wesley said. “After several discussions, writing and rewriting of a syllabus and searching for
instructors, we were able to launch the First Year Experience
(FYE) course the following year.”
In addition to providing freshmen with added support in
forming peer connections, the goal of the FYE course is to
help new students make a smooth transition into the ENC
community. “We wanted to show students the varying range
of services available to them at Eastern Nazarene,” said Associate Dean for Student Development Jamica Love, one of the
FYE course’s instructors. “We also wanted to give students
an opportunity to engage with administrators with whom
they might otherwise have limited interaction or never meet.”
In addition to Wesley and Love, FYE instructors have included Brickley Center Counselor Anke Thorne, Director of
Alumni Relations Meghan Jean-Noel, Director of Residential Life and Multicultural Affairs Robert Benjamin, Head
Women’s Basketball Coach and Adjunct Faculty Member
Karen Marshall, Public Services Librarian Erin McCoy and
Director of Admissions Andrew Wright.
Topics covered include study skills, understanding racial
equality, establishing healthy boundaries and personal
finance. The curriculum also covers issues such as ethical
decision making, vision and personal goals achievement.
“To accommodate a diversity of learners, teachers engage
in several forms of teaching, using a variety of methods as
they move from subject to subject,” Wesley said. “Instructors might use creative writing, reaction papers, listening
to music or poetry, engaging in dialogue, storytelling, and
other interactive activities to reach each type of learner.”
After using the Strengths Quest text during its initial year,
the FYE course has advanced to the Strengths Finder text,
Wesley added. “The purpose of this text is to help first year
students identify and focus on their strengths rather than
focusing on their weaknesses,” he said, noting that there are
five to six sections of the FYE course available to incoming
freshmen. “Classes are intentionally kept interactive and
fun, with lighter homework loads so there are no unneeded
conflicts with other classes.”
From home-based businesses that make and sell cheese and
tortillas to small grocery stores, or “pulperias” that offer
grains, vegetables and fruit, loan-funded businesses help
provide employment to church members while stabilizing
the overall economy.
“Several churches have also applied for loans, creating
employment opportunities such as recycling businesses
for their members,” Wooster said. “Business owners also
receive education and training in such areas as basic accounting and business management through the local
district committees.”
To date, the Micro-Enterprise Fund has approved loans to 15
business owners, who are charged 10 percent simple interest
along with a 5 percent administrative fee. As loans are repaid
monthly, principal payments return to the revolving loan fund
while interest and fees go to the district committees to cover
expenses or for local compassionate ministry projects.
Nearly $25,000 has been raised through grants, donations
and fundraising efforts to continue the Micro-Enterprise
Fund, Wooster said, with additional student-led fundraising
efforts in the works. Several students completed internships
with MEF over the summer, conducting research on microfinance and working on publicity materials for the program.
Students, staff and faculty continue to meet regularly to
develop the program, while the Business department is currently developing a course that will enable ENC students
to travel to Nicaragua to witness up close the fruits of the
program’s investments.
“Students will not only learn firsthand about the MEF and
the businesses benefiting from it,” she said, “but also about
the Nicaraguan economy, the local business environment
and the culture and life of the church there.”
From an institutional perspective, Love said, the FYE
course supports Eastern Nazarene’s efforts to increase
student retention rates from the freshman to sophomore
years. “Studies have shown that colleges employing a First
Year Seminar program can cut in half the rate of student
attrition from freshman to sophomore year,” she said. “In
addition, all seven of the other U.S. colleges within the
Nazarene educational system had already embraced an
FYE program or equivalent, so making the FYE course a
requirement better aligns us with our sister Nazarene colThis Nicaraguan grocery store is supported in part by

Campus hosts Army battalion Family Day
prepares students for college life ENC’s sponsorship of battalion part of college’s efforts to serve soldiers, veterans
Students attending the Summer Bridge Program participated in many
extracurricular events that allowed them to explore Quincy and the
surrounding areas, like the nearby Blue Hills Reservation.
T
he transition from high school to college can be a challenging one,
particularly for students requiring additional coursework in order to
meet college admission requirements.
Eastern Nazarene helped make that transition easier this past summer, when
31 students participated in the Summer Bridge Program. Held from July 18
to August 15, the four-week session prepared incoming freshmen for their
undergraduate studies by offering intensive skill building courses in English,
writing, arithmetic and algebra.
Soldiers of the HHD, 164th Transportation Battalion bow their heads in prayer as ENC Chaplain
Timothy Eyring delivers the invocation for the soldiers’ annual family day celebration at ENC.
“The Summer Bridge Program was designed to offer academic programming
that prepared incoming freshmen for the many challenges that they may face
during their time at ENC,” said Summer Bridge Program Director Eric Clark.
“At the same time, the program also alleviated the need for ENC to schedule
multiple sections of fundamental courses each semester.”
A typical day for students participating in the program began with breakfast in
the Commons dining hall followed by Reading for College or Fundamentals
of Math courses. After lunch, students participated in Writing for College or
Math for College as well as small group instruction and tutoring sessions,
followed by dinner and study time.
Recreational activities, meanwhile, enabled students to get to know one
another in a relaxed environment. Bridge Program outings included trips to
a Brockton Rox baseball game, Boston’s Freedom Trail and Shakespeare on
the Common, as well as a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts.
“We sought to use this time,” Clark said, “to help students foster a sense of
community through a variety of spiritual and recreational offerings.
“Based on the success of this year’s program,” he added, “we hope to offer
the Summer Bridge Program next year.”

love with Daniel a wealthy
boy from the other side of
her island. When Daniel is

pandas. But boa constrictors, bearded
dragon lizards and blue-tongued
skinks?
More than 200 children received
a lesson in caring for all of God’s
creatures this summer, when ENC’s
Animal Caretakers Team gave live
animal presentations at Immanuel
Church of the Nazarene’s Vacation
Bible School, called “Crocodile
Dock.” Located in Lansdale, PA.,
the church played host to Assistant
Professor of Biology Jonathan
Twining, ENC junior Rebecca
Stonelake and a varied collection
of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Children and their parents were treated
to a variety of programs and displays that enabled them to see and
touch the animals while learning more about the need to care for God’s creation.
“Each evening, we brought different reptiles and amphibians to our staging area
next to the worship center entrance,” said Twining, whose menagerie includes
five snakes and several lizards, tree frogs, fire-bellied newts and tarantulas. “We
also did two, half-hour shows for the K-4 kids, a pre-teen show and brought
a boa constrictor to church to illustrate Pastor Mark Prugh’s message on the
gospel, which he compared to ‘the shedding of skin.’”
Prugh, an ENC alum (84) whose daughter is currently a junior at ENC, arranged the weeklong visit, which also included videotaping the activities for
use in producing a promotional video to be shared with schools, churches and
other groups. Vacation Bible School attendees also made the Animal Caretakers
Team their mission project, raising money to support the animals’ care and the
program’s outreach efforts.

Team’s live animal demonstrations throughout the Vacation Bible School
program at the Immanuel Church of the Nazarene in Lansdale, PA.
Founded in January 2007 by ENC’s Biology department, the Animal Caretakers
Team was born out of ENC students’ desire to work with animals. “We had so
many students who said, ‘I want to work with animals,’ but didn’t have cars to
go to the nearby Trailside Museum run by the Mass. Audubon Society,” Twining
said. “This program gives students an outlet on campus to pursue that passion.”
In addition to using the animals during classes in Shrader Science Hall, students
check on the animals three times a day to ensure they have food, water and are
kept at the proper temperature. Twining and his students also enjoy taking the
animals out to visit community groups, churches and schools, where outreach
efforts are consistent with state curriculum frameworks.
“Crocodile Dock allowed us to share the importance of caring for God’s creation, and for being good caretakers of the animals in our care,” Twining said,
adding that the program helped some children and adults conquer their fear of
spiders and snakes.
“We want to do more outreach to churches and schools so that we can talk about
conservation, caring for the environment and caring for God’s creation,” Twining
said, noting that the Animal Caretakers Team is scheduled to do a presentation
at Homecoming on Oct. 17. “Through the animals, we teach our constituents
that God wants us to love and care for all of His creation.”
“God wants us to respect and care for other creatures, but not fear them,” he
said. “We had an adult who came in absolutely petrified of snakes. By the end
of the week, he was holding the biggest snake we had.”

T
he sounds and rhythms of a variety of Christian
music genres echoed through the grounds of the
Gunstock Mountain Resort this summer, as the
SoulFest Christian music festival once again presented
more than 100 Christian speakers and artists.
Held July 29 to August 1 in Gilford, New Hampshire, the
four-day music festival drew approximately 13,000 attendees
to witness performances by some of the biggest names in
Christian music, including such popular groups as the Newsboys, Third Day, Skillet, Haste the Day, Fireflight, Norma

Meet Eldon C. Hall
Major:
Math
Graduation Year:
1948
Occupation:
Retired Scientist and Author
By Caily Crispell (12)
Forty years ago, the world watched transfixed as the Apollo 11 mission succeeded in meeting President John F.
Kennedy’s goal of putting an American on the moon before the end of the 1960s. Eastern Nazarene graduate
Eldon Hall (48) played a pivotal role in the Apollo mission, designing the mission’s computer guidance system.
Recently, he returned to ENC to discuss his role in the history-making mission.
Q: What exactly was the Apollo Guidance Computer, and how did it affect the Apollo mission?
A: The Apollo Guidance Computer was a navi-
Q: How did your time spent at ENC prepare you
for working alongside some of MIT’s most
brilliant workers?
A: Well, I wasn’t at ENC initially. I ended up joining
gational system of sorts. Its purpose was to
do the computations that would successfully
guide the shuttle out to the moon’s surface,
touch base, then navigate it back again through
earth’s atmosphere. Versions of it are not really
being used today, as it was a system that was
designed specifically for the mission. It was a
special-purpose computer. We began working on
it in 1961, so overall it took about seven years
to completely design.
the service about half way through my college
career. Then when the war was over, a friend of
mine who attended ENC suggested the college
to me. Dr. Shrader was known for his
his work
work
in Chemistry, and I was eager to take
take
courses with him. However, I soon
on
found that I was truly interested inn
Physics. Therefore, in order to graduuate on time, I majored in Mathematics.
s.
s.
This provided the skills I would need
eed
to further my education. I then wentt oon
n
to Boston University to get my master’s
ter’s
degree in Physics. This prepared m
mee ffo
for
or
working with other MIT workers.
Q: Can you recall what you were thinking and
feeling at the moment the astronauts landed
on the moon?
A: Well, when we heard that the computer was so-
called “failing,” we were really shaking in our
boots. What it was doing was restarting, the way
computers today do; however, unlike computers
today, it could take up to a week or so to come
back up to successful operation. When I heard
the word “restart,” I knew that meant something
serious was going on. There was too much information going into the computer at once, and it
was still trying to do the necessary computations.
Although the computer was telling the world it
was failing, what we discovered later was that
it was actually doing just what it was supposed
to. It was truly God orchestrated.
Q: You’ve written about the processs o
off

em
m
in your book, Journey to the Moon:
n:

ce

le
e
Computer. Could you tell us a little
about writing it?
y
A: I felt it was necessary to write a history
of the process of designing the Apolloo
Guidance System in significant detail.
l.
l.
It was the first computer of any seriouss
s,
application to use integrated circuits,
which, I suppose, I would take credit
it
for advocating. This is a big part off
es
es
what Journey to the Moon focuses
on. The book itself has been well
received, although not necessarily
extensively popular. It’s great for
anyone specifically interested in
Apollo’s history, which was its
intended purpose.
Q: ENC’s new slogan is “Discover
your purpose.” How would
you say ENC helped you in
discovering your purpose?
A: As I mentioned earlier, ENC’s
major in Mathematics helped me
jumpstart both my career and my
further education. What I didn’t
realize at the time – but I now see
looking back – is that other than
one’s educational training, life
events help to train and prepare us
for what our purpose is. Designing
Apollo’s guidance system was
clearly the task I was trained to do:
It fit me like a glove! It’s almost
as if the task was designed for me.
There really is no explanation otherr
than it was God’s will.
