cross-cultural

Sunday the 13th.

I appreciated the cross-cultural weekend in Goshen.  I say this not because of the “hippie mentality” that people associate this campus with, but rather in comparison with my heavily tattooed, anything-pierced friends at Jesus People USA (the place I’m currently staying) the Goshen campus had the distinct air of conservatism.  This wasn’t the same feel I had gotten in previous visits when the norm was shaped by the Hesston College standard.  I suppose this shows how perspectives change when one is in a new environment (like a new country…) for a while, how familiar things become weird and the weird seems normal.
