Thanks to the Honors College for bringing Christian author and blogger Rachel Held Evans to campus as part of Summit this year. Rachel is the author of Evolving in Monkey Town and is currently working on A Year of Biblical Womanhood. (See Mike Cope’s blog for a nice review of Monkey Town.)

After her main Summit presentation, Rachel joined psychology prof and blogger Richard Beck for an energetic discussion of blogging in the current religious, political, and social climate.
