Emerging Culture Project Earns Medallion

The Emerging Culture Curriculum, an interactive resource kit edited by InterVarsity’s Blue Ridge Regional Director Jimmy Long, received one of the 20 Gold Medallions awarded for 2005 by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. It was the winner in the Christian Education category.

The Emerging Culture Curriculum is aimed at helping church and ministry leaders understand the social changes that are shaping the next generation. It addresses the implications for ministry leadership, witness and communication created by this emerging culture, which has been called postmodernism.

The Emerging Culture Curriculum is published by InterVarsity Press and was co-produced by InterVarsity’s Twentyonehundred Productions. The curriculum kit includes media presentations on CD-ROM, as well as a leader’s guide and participants’ guides.

This summer churches may receive a free copy of the Emerging Culture Curriculum, as well as one free registration for a pastor for InterVarsity’s Urbana 06 Student Mission Convention, by becoming an Urbana Partner Church. For additional information, contact your local InterVarsity staff worker or Urbana 06 Communications Director Christy Chappell.

InterVarsity Press publishes more than 90 books a year. One other InterVarsity Press book, New Testament Theology by I. Howard Marshall, received an ECPA 2005 Gold Medallion. A total of 469 books were evaluated in 20 categories.
