Variety of uses
available for food credits
by Jo Ann Watkins
"The monies students pay
each semester on the Bethel
food plan is good for more
than just eating in the main
dining room," said Paul Drake,
director of auxiliary services.
Students living on campus
are charged a minimum fee of
$425 per semester for food.
Drake said that students need
to be aware of the options
available in using this money.
The 'credit can be used in
the coffeeshop any time dur-ing
the day or evening except
when the dining center is
open. On Thursday evenings
food at the Royal Oak Room
restaurant may be charged to
a food account. "Whenever
there is a birthday of a friend
and you want a birthday cake,
you can purchase that cake
from food service," said
Drake. He said that special
meals, banquets or dorm par-ties
can be paid for with
money on the accounts.
If a student has a balance
on his/her account at the end
of the school year, he/she may
purchase any food items in
bulk from the food service.
According to Drake, this could
be steaks, hamburger, canned
foods, fresh fruits or any other
food. Students sl. ould be cer-tain
to notify the food service
a week before school is out so
orders can be made up.
Students on the program
may transfer any funds on
their food account to other
students. Account transfers
are made with Scott Wiermaa,
food accounts coordinator.
The food plan Bethel uses
this school year with accounts
in the computerized cash reg-isters
is not essentially dif-ferent
than the food card sys-tem
used the past years. Drake
said the only difference is
that participants on the pro-gram
have ID cards rather
than food cards in their hands
when going through the food
Drake said that if students
have any questions regarding
the food plan, they should
talk with Wayne Erickson,
manager of food services, Judy
Helman, assistant manager of
food services, or himself. "The
Bethel meal plan is a unique
plan," said Drake. "We want
students to be fully aware of
all the options that they have
with their food accounts."

A certain Campus Coordi-nator
event is slowly estab-lishing
itself as a Bethel tradi-tion,
and it is not the Bethel
10-kilometer dogsled race.
Yes, Friday night rollerskat-ing
has been enjoyed by many
in past years, and is becoming
a tradition strong enough to
lure Bethel students away
from study and sleep for a
midnight roll around the rink.
Rollerskating, according to
Campus Coordinator staff
member Mary Schwab, has
been a part of Bethel for about
seven years. She said that
there are usually about 275
students in attendance each
night, mosth , freshmen and
sophomores. ,chwab is the
one who is gt nerally present
to make sure everything is
"rolling" smoothly, and she is
also in charge of getting DJs.
A problem that the Campus
Coordinators have encountered
in the past couple years has to
do with the music that is
played at the rink. Originally,
only Christian music was
played at these late-night es-capades.
But, said Schwab,
"the problem with Christian
music is that there is not much
to skate to." So a couple of
years ago secular "skateable"
music was added to the festi-vities,
and the balance has
since been kept at 50/50. "The

secular music is censored and
kept under control," said
Schwab, "so it is not offen-sive."
Unique situations have
arisen from rollerskating
throughout the years. Corey
Moyer, a freshman at Bethel
two years ago, recalled a night
of skating with many of that
year's freshmen from Edgren
and Bodien when everybody
was skating the Worm and
the Molecule. "It looked pretty
ridiculous bouncing around
on skates," said Moyer, "but
that was the big thing that
night, and a lot of people were
doing it, too." Greg Howell, a
junior at Bethel, agreed. "We
set at $1350 and board fees
are expected to be set within
the week. A decrease in enroll-ment
is projected which will
affect budget amounts.
Both incoming and contin-uing
students will pay the
$4950 fee. For students admit-ted
this year who paid $4550
it will be an 8.8 per cent in-crease.
For students who con-tinued
at Bethel this year the
cost is an 11.2 per cent raise
from $4450.
The average tuition for
four-year private colleges is
expected to be $4943, up 9.4
per cent, according to the
Chronicle of Higher Educa-tion,
Jan. 26, 1983.
Revenue from college tui-tion
is expected to be
$8,875,575. This is $219,000
less than '82-83. With semi-nary
tuition increasing 10.5
per cent, tuition revenue will
total $9,595,875.
Housing costs will be the
same for on- and off-campus
residents at $1350. This is
the same cost as living off-campus
during '82-83 and an
8.9 per cent increase for those
presently living on-campus.
The costs and increases are

were freshmen, so we had an
excuse for looking stupid. And

Moyer also remembered
being at the rink one night
when "a leg skated right by on
the rink." He soon found out
that the culprit for this very
bizarre sight was Jim Tulberg
(a Bethel junior with an arti-ficial
leg) who had taken his
leg and pushed it out onto the
rink, skate and all. "It was a
weird sight, to say the least,"
said Moyer.

will be a part of Bethel
for years to come, and it more

Individuals in Christianity
form whole of God's world
I've just finished reading a book on the culture and society
of a typical town in southern China. The class distinctions
and social dictums are recorded as so rigid that no diversity
or individuality remains—only the conformity of a person to
society. Only what other people say seems to be important
to these people, and this concerns every aspect of their lives.
When reading of another culture, one is better able to be
objective and unhindered in understanding a society,
looking in from the outside. $ut to observe a culture from
within is a different matter. What is obvious from the
outside is harder to see from within.
I was going to write about how glad I was to be in
America where this doesn't seem so prevalent. Yet it is, and
to a large degree.
We are all concerned about what others will think of us if
we deviate from the social norm. But we shouldn't let it
overwhelm, dictate or be the deciding factor for all our
decisions. Instead, we should feel free enough to put aside
the norm and become what God intended us to be—not sore
thumbs, but the individual appendages of God's universal

During the course of the
year, Bethel hosts student
visit days to acquaint stu-dents
with Bethel.
For the past two years,
Bethel has had a planned cam-pus
visit day program. In the
fall, there is one day when a
large group of students come
to visit the campus. On this
day, the students just come
and walk around the campus,
and take a guided tour of the
school. In the late winter or
early spring, there are three
specialized days for visitation.
According to Cheryl Staur-seth,
recruitment coordinator
in admissions, these programs
have been successful, with an

Homosexual orientation differs from homosexual behavior
To the editor:
The purpose of this letter is
to provide a response to the
set of three chapels focused
on homosexuality. First, I
want to commend Pastor Jim
Spickelmier and the campus
ministries office for publicly
recognizing the importance of
confronting such social/ethi-cal
issues. A knowledgeable,
compassionate, and active
Church is neededJoday. Sec-ond,
I want to thank Jim
Spickelmier, Millard Erick-son,
and Doug Briggs for their
time and energy in sharing
their opinions with the Bethel
Third, I agree it is always
appropriate to open such in-quiry
with a focus on Scrip-ture
as our authority; after
all, the almighty God of the
universe is revealed there. How-ever,
Scripture was not writ-ten,
nor do we interpret it in a
sociopolitical and historical
vacuum. We bring to our read-ing
many presuppositions,
biases, and limited under-standing,
and these may affect
what we assume God is say-ing.
As history demonstrates,
misuse and abuse of Scrip-ture
occurs often. (What I am
arguing for here is simply
greater humility and care in
interpreting God's holy word.
And for further clarification I
refer you to the Fall 1982
chapel address on Bible inter-pretation
by BTS professor,
Dr. John Herzog.)
Fourth, I desire to address a
few of the many issues on
homosexuality raised by the
speakers. My goal is not to
support any of the four cate-gories
presented by Dr. Erick-son,
but rather to clarify and
discuss. My credentials? I am
an active social scientist
whose research foci include
sex role, gender identity, and
sexual preference develop-ment.
Permit me to clarify some
concepts. Gender identity (I
am male; I am female), sex
role identity (I behave and fill
social positions appropriate/
inappropriate for my gender
as specified by my culture),
and sexual preference (I am
erotically aroused by indi-viduals
of like-sex, other-sex,
and so on) are all separate
and independent of each other.
These do not cluster in any
predetermined manner; for ex-ample,
most individuals with
homosexual preference have
socially appropriate gender
and sex role identities.
Within sexual preference,
other concepts need clarifica-tion,
and here I disagree strong-ly
with Mr. Briggs' analysis.
Sexual preference or orienta-tion
and sexual behavior are
not one and the same. If there
is anything that has surfaced
from the substantial body of
research in human sexuality,
it is that behavior does not
necessarily follow preference.
For example, many individu-als
with homosexual prefer-ence
do not participate in homo-sexual
behavior; in fact, many
of these individuals are actu-ally
involved in heterosexual
behavior within a marriage.
My guess is that most of you
reading this article are het-erosexual
in preference, yet
many of you are not involved
in heterosexual behavior even
at levels considered socially
appropriate for dating. I re-state:
A distinction between
preference and behavior must
be made.
How do we develop our
sexual preference? As was
raised in one chapel presenta-tion,
sexual preference does
not appear to be "a given";
what was being implied here
was that it is not a biological
given. The scanty data we
have today on physiological
influence in sexual preference
supports at best a possibility
of biological predisposition,
and even this possibility re-ceives
its most compelling
support from non-human ani-mal
studies. In talking about
biological givens, a common
and questionable assumption
was raised, That is, only biol-ogy
provides outcomes in our
development which are be-yond
our conscious control.
Human development is also
substantially affected through
conscious and non-conscious
socialization processes, of
which many are also beyond
our control.
The above leads to the issue
of personal' choice in sexual
preference. (Note: I am refer-ring
to preference here and
not behavior.) Answer this
question: When in your life
did you make a willful deci-sion
to obey the evangelical
understanding of God's will
and become heterosexual? For
most of you, there was no
such point in your develop-ment.
You sexual orientation
developed through years of
complex socialization pres-sures.
Why then do you accuse
individuals with homosexual
orientations of making a will-ful
decision to disobey God?
Their preference, too, is the
result of many factors over
which they have no control.
Many, in fact, are greatly dis-mayed
when they come to
realize their sexual preference.
Homosexuality describes a
sexual preference which is an
outcome of life development;
such a preference does not
require that sexual behavior
Finally, I would like to reit-erate
a concern raised by the
speakers—the difficulty of
changing from a homosexual
preference to a heterosexual
one. Think about your own
sexual preference for a mo-ment;
now consider how dif-ficult
it would be to complete-ly
change it. Certainly God
can intervene and alter pref-erence
miraculously, yet mir-acles
do not represent a fre-quent
mode of operation for
God. "Transformation" among
those with homosexual pref-erence,
even "Christian trans-formation,"
appears to reflect
a change in attitudes and be-havior,
not necessarily a loss
of the original orientation. For
example, it is quite common
for Christians who 'claim such
transformation to still deal
with homosexual desires, even
when they are enjoying a com-mitted
heterosexual relation-ship.

The rock quarry, located a half mile outside the county line
near the big bend in Highway #30, was peaceful. For the last
thirty-seven years the quarry has not seen any action what-soever.
All the rocks work together and function as a whole.
There is one rock however, who has chosen not to participate
with the other rocks in some impure doings. This rock, even
though it didn't participate, was still accepted by the rest of the
The rock council, which meets bimonthly, thought that the
quarry had experienced all that life had to offer until a barrel
of unknown material fell off a passing truck and into the
quarry. The barrel flipped and bounced down the rocks with-out
breaking open. The barrel did one last flip in the air and
then landed on top of the rock who had chosen not to be like the
Seven months after the barrel landed on the rock the seal on
the lid began to crack and substance leaked onto the rock.
"Something's happening to me!" the rock shouted to the other
rocks. "It's new, it's different, there's no way for me to explain
"Can you relate it to anything that has happened to you
before?" the rocks questioned.
"No," the rock admitted, "nothing like this has ever happened
to me before."
As time passed, the rock as well as his friends accepted what
had happened and learned how to enjoy the change. Then it
happened, the rock screamed out in the middle of the night. "It
hurts! There's pain! Why?" The quarry echoed with the
screams. "Why does something so nice have to contain such
pain?" As the days passed the pain became unpredictable,
some days it would be there and on others it would not. The
substance continued to leak and the rock continued to change,
not only in what it thought and felt, but how it looked as well.
"I think the change has been very good," stated one of the
rocks at the council meeting.
"So do I," another responded. "There seems to be a type of
softness that has replaced some of the stony attitudes."
"Tell us about the pain." The council turned toward the rock.
"It's really different," the rock said. "At times it hurts very
much, but it helps me to grow."
"Tell us more." The council waited in anticipation.
"After the pain, there's a feeling of relief, a type of under-standing."
The rock looked confused. "It's all so unexplainable,
but it makes the pain worth it."
The council grew quiet as the leader prepared to speak. "If
this feeling is new to our quarry we must come up with a term
to describe it." As the sun set that evening the members of the
council reached a unanimous decision. They called it love.

Hansen journeys to Washington D.C. for Prayer Day
by Eleanor Edman
I was walking along the deserted main street of Greenwich
Village in New York City one morning about ten years ago
when I met a man I have never forgotten. He jolted my comfort-able
complacency with a passing comment that was tragic
and funny, and keeps reminding me of both my privileges and
To picture the scene, you have to know what the Village
looks like on a weekday morning. Eighth Street is a very busy
street in that area. It is narrow and old with tall buildings
lining the sidewalks. At 2 a.m., it is like Rosedale on dollar
days, but with a very different atmosphere. It is flashy, rau-cous,
sophisticated, charming and frowzy with a blend of
very new and very old. All kinds of people jam the sidewalks.
At 8 a.m., only coffee shops are open. The boutiques, book-stores,
basement restaurants and quirky shops of all kinds are
tightly shut. Rows of garbage cans stand like uneven sentinels
along the curbs. The accumulated New York grime and clutter
which is blotted out by neon lights at night is very obvious on a
gray, cloudy morning.
The man came around a corner as I hurried to the university
nearby. He i,vove unsteadily from one side of the sidewalk to
the other. He was tall, at least six feet, and gaunt. It was hard
to tell whether he was black, white or some shade in between
because his skin was a mixture of gray and yellow with a
stubble of black beard. He looked young and old at the same
time, and had the rubber-legged gait of a chronically malnour-ished
alcoholic. His baggy trousers were loose on his skinny
hips and his shirt hadn't been changed recently. It was a cold
March morning, but his ragged overcoat—a too-long khaki
green Army surplus—flapped, unbuttoned, in the stiff wind
that always blows through the Village off the East River.
He came toward me, then stumbled and swayed close to the
curb. As he steadied himself, the wind blew his coat and it
caught on the ragged edge of a garbage can. I was trying to
decide whether he would fall and what I would do if he did,
when he yanked his coat free, straightened up, looked at me
and said: "You know, Lady, when you're down on your luck,
even the garbage cans won't leave you alone!"
In our comfortable LL Bean and Alligator existence, people
like my friend seem very far away. Winos, bums and drifters
don't clutter up our nice houses or beige and white suburban
churches. But people in need are all over. And we are under
orders to bind up the wounded, heal the broken-hearted and
bring justice to the oppressed.
Who are the people near you that are being attacked by
garbage cans? Is it an unemployed mother with hungry chil-dren,
an unhappy child from a difficult home, a roommate
hurting with a serious problem? Or maybe even a man you see
on your way to work, just like the man I met in New York?
Have you ever thought about how you could replace the
garbage cans in someone's life? I do, and I don't have any good
answers—but I know God expects me to try. How about you?

Thor Hansen, a junior, at-tended
the Feb. 3 National
Prayer Breakfast, held in Wash-ing
ton , D.C. The breakfast is
an annual event which brings
together Christian leaders
from across the nation and
around the world. Represen-tatives
from 120 countries and •
all 50 states gathered for a
weekend of fellowship and
seminars. President Reagan
and members of Congress
were among the 3,000 partici-pants.
Hansen was chosen to at-tend
because of his exemplary
Christian leadership. "Out of
the blue I got a call from a
man in my church who knew
two of the National Prayer
Breakfast organizers. They
needed two Minnesota college
students so he called me up. I
didn't have to apply or any-thing,"
said Hansen.
The other Minnesota stu-dent
was Dave Heine of St.
Olaf. Heine and Hansen were
part of a group of 60 students
involved in workshops con-cerning
campus ministry and
witness. "Besides the actual
breakfast we attended about
25 small -group seminars led

students less than last fall.
The deficit in revenue
caused by decreased enroll-ment
is in the education and
general budget which covers
salaries and supplies. Student
receipts are approximately 88
per cent of this budget with
gift income making up 12 per
cent. Brushaber pointed out
that doubling the gift income
amount does not offset the
larger degree of loss caused
by a drop in enrollment. He
said that building project mon-ies
are separate and not fund-ed
by student revenues.
Budget cuts were antici-pated
early in this year with
enrollment down 103 with
projections. This resulted in
empty beds, extra teachers
and no room-and-board in-come
from 103 students.
Brushaber said that of a $19
million total budget, this
meant $700,000 would not be
coming in. Additional finan-cial
aid of $175,000 was given
to 40- 50 students who had
applied to Bethel but would
not have been able to attend
for financial reasons. This
left a gap of $875,000 in this
year's expected revenues and
actual revenues.
This deficit was compen-sated
by not replacing some
retiring faculty, deferring
maintenance, trimming spend-ing,
raising additional gift
income, and through dona-tions
of the President's Club
according to Brushaber.
"We think we'll finish this
year in the black (within the
budget)," said Brushaber. "I
think that's a great testimony
to the people around here."
He said it is also important
that Bethel will not be start-ing
the next year with a deficit
from this year. "There are
reports of schools facing ser-ious
deficits," he said. "It's
important to be able to tell
people that the money given
will go to help programs for
next year rather than to pay
Looking at next year's pro-jections

Women hoopsters' playoff hopes diminished events
by Rich Whybrew
It will be a little tougher for
the Bethel women's basket-ball
team to qualify for the
state playoffs at the end of the
month, since the team lost a
conference game to Gustavus
62-36 last Thursday, Feb. 17.
The Royals began the week
on a good note, defeating St.
Scholastica 75-60 on Feb. 15.
Coach Vonda Bjorklund said
the team began the game slow-ly,
but "decided to play ball"
in the last 10 minutes to pull
away from the Saints.
Sharon Huisinga led the
team in scoring with 25 points,
which was also a season high
for any Royal this year. Karen
mbb, from page 8
The Royals got both on Feb.
21 in knocking off St. Olaf 88-
81 and got help from Maca-lester
as the Scots surprised
St. John's. That leaves the
season's final game against
St. Thomas on Feb. 24 as the
deciding factor as to whether
Bethel will continue to play
this season. -
"We've just got to beat St.
Thomas and hope the execu-tive
committee picks us," said
Palke after the St. Olaf game.
If Bethel defeats St. Tho-mas
and St. John's loses to
Gustavus, the Royals advance
to the playoffs. If St. John's
wins and Bethel loses, the
Johnnies will advance. Should
both teams win or lose that
would leave a tie for the final
spot in the playoffs and the
league's tie-breaker formula
go into effect.
The first two criteria in the
tie-breaker is head-to-head re-sults.
Unfortunately St. John's
and Bethel split and defeated
each other by the same two-point
margin. The other cri-teria
in the event of a tie are
slightly more complicated and
not even coach George Palke
was sure what the outcome
would be.

Jaeger, Dwayne Nordstrom,
Billy Lawson, Mike Hanley
and Jason Velgersdyk started
the final home game of their
career against St. Olaf. Play-ing

to receive the honor following Dion Wolter and Billy

Bethel basketball starting seniors say goodbye
by John Clark
It's a tradition that occurs
every year, an event that is
four years in the making. One
could say it is a changing of
the guard or in the case of this
year's basketball team, a
changing of the guard, for-ward
and center.
Four Bethel starting seniors
will play their final game on
Feb. 24 with the possibility of
post-season play still up in
the air. Without the experience
the four seniors lend to the
Royal attack the Bethel team
would not have remained in
the race this long.
Gone will be Billy Lawson,
the penetrating point guard,
Mike Hanley, the go all-out
wing, Dwayne "Dewey"
Nordstrom, the steady for-ward
and Jason Velgersdyk,
the dominating center. They
all play different roles, yet
mesh perfectly to give Bethel
a team capable of playing any
team in the MIAC even.
"I've really come to appre-ciate
Bethel," said Hanley, the
6'1" senior from Anchorage,
Ak. who transferred to Bethel
after his freshman year.
"Starting at a different school
I've seen what other schools
are like so I feel like I have a
better appreciation for Beth-el.
Hanley will leave Bethel as
the fifth best field goal shot-ter
(47%) and the season and
career record for drawing of-fensive
fouls. It's Hanley's
willingness to sacrifice his
body defensively that most
people will remember.
"We're all endowed with
certain gifts," said Hanley
when describing his penchant
for picking up charges and
diving for loose balls. "I have
to compensate for my size
and make sure I give 100-
percent. Where others have
natural gifts I really have to
push the gifts I have."
Nordstrom is another who
has made the most of his abil-ities.
Dewey will never be
accused of being flashy but
he'll never be accused of not
getting the job done.
"It's kind of sad thinking
about it ending," said the 6'7"
Nordstrom from Western
Springs, Ill. who was intro-duced
with tear-filled eyes in
his final home game. "I was
fortunate that I came at a time
when they needed post play-ers.
It was just the right level
of competition for me."
One would be hard pressed
to find a player with fans
more dedicated that Nord-strom's

to Royal onslaught
by John Lilleberg
It would have been so easy to
quit, to lie down and let the
season fade quietly into the
realm of memory. It would be
a far more difficult thing to
overcome all the pain of a
season of shattered dreams in
one short week. The Royals
chose the latter by sweeping
their last three games in stun-ning
The week began with the
biggest upset in the history of
Bethel hockey as the Royals
knocked off Augsburg, the
defending national cham-pions,
5- 3. Scoring for Bethel
were Scott Prigge, Scott Tho-mas,
Scott Mayer, Jeff Eklund
and Jon Abrahamson.
Throughout the game Beth-el
was able to hold Augsburg's
powerful offense in check with
consistently tough backcheck-

ing. Coach Craig Dahl felt
strong overall defense was
the key factor in the game, "It
was a great feeling. It was one
of the best games we've play-ed
all year. We played good
defense and our backcheck-hockey,

hope for
by John Clark
With their playoff hopes
seriously damaged by two
consecutive losses, the Bethel
men's basketball team put it-self
back into the race for
post season play with a senior
farewell win over St. Olaf.
One game out of second
place with two games remain-ing
Bethel faced a must win
situation against the Oles.
With only two teams advanc-ing
to the playoffs from the
MIAC, Bethel not only needed
a win over St. Olaf but also a
loss by St. John's.

Re: Synth Technicians and Repairs
Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2010 3:29 pm
I used to take all my synths to John (JL) when he was based out of Los Angeles. It was a sad day when he moved to Calgary (damn you Cantos! ) There is no one better when it comes to Oberheim synths!3rdConstruction wrote:I am based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I've got an Oberheim Two-Voice SEM-based synth I dearly love & need to get repaired. A couple of posts have mentioned John Leimseider at the Cantos Music Foundation in Calgary. Can anyone comment directly on their experience with John/Cantos? Or are there any votes for any other Canadian technicians?

I like it a lot. My favorite part is when Dr. Jekyll changes into Hyde. He is cool because he gets all hairy. This book reminds me of Knight of Screaming Armor.
I recommend this book to people who like to read scary books and fiction books.

The Church of the Spiral Tree (CST) is a non-profit, volunteer-staffed, ecumenical Pagan church, designed to foster and celebrate a sense of community and family among Pagans, both locally and in other regions of the country and world. CST celebrates the unique Pagan family: parents, children, elders, and extended family. It is an ecumenical church in that it encompasses all traditions, and is non-exclusive. It welcomes all who revere the Earth Mother and who respect themselves and others; regardless of with which tradition one is affiliated.
IMPORTANT: Church of the Spiral Tree is LGBTQ-friendly. We do NOT support the current "bathroom bills" being passed. Trans people are just as welcome at our events as cis- people, and if we *had* multi-stall public bathrooms, they would be welcome to use the restroom of the sex they identify as. We will not tolerate implicit, implied, verbal, emotional, or physical violence towards our LGBTQ friends.
The CST t-shirts are for sale! The shirts are dark green, and the design is white and gold. You can see the design on the t-shirt ordering page.
CST Rituals
CST hosts rituals for almost every sabbat; some of the groves do also. You do not have to be a CST member to attend! These rituals are open to everyone, including beginners, solitaries, and children. However, if you do deeply enjoy attending our rituals and would like to join CST, please fill out a membership form and send it in. Dress is casual; we do not work skyclad, to keep it family-friendly. After (or sometimes before) each ritual there is usually a pot-luck dinner; please bring a dish for this.
To make sure that adequate numbers of people will be present at these rituals so it is fun for everyone, our policy for the main CST rituals is that we must have five RSVPs by the Wednesday night before the ritual (72 hours before). To make it easy for you to RSVP and to see if the ritual will take place or not, we have Facebook event pages for the upcoming CST rituals for you to leave your RSVP, tell us what food you're bringing for potluck, and check to see who else is going. For details and links to the event pages, please "Like" our Facebook page.
CST Service Projects
How to Donate to CST's various service projects:
Church of the Spiral Tree has a Community Relief Fund, that allows us to help out community members in times of need. We also have a Pagan Prisoner Ministry, which provides outreach and support to incarcerated Pagans across the county. Both of these projects currently have zero funds, so your donations are needed NOW!
Your donations to these projects are tax-deductible - we will send you a receipt upon request. Please make your checks out to "Church of the Spiral Tree" and attach a note or write in the memo space, "Community Relief Fund," "Pagan Prisoner Ministry," or other purpose. This way we can keep up with exactly how much is coming in for each project.

After its successful test flight in December, the Orion crew capsule is getting its heat shield stripped to ship off for more tests at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton.
At NASA Langley, the heat shield will be attached to a test article — or a mockup of the Orion — to undergo even more water impact tests.
It's rigor like this that should make an even better heat shield when the capsule is launched back into space, eventually with a crew onboard. Orion is the spacecraft NASA intends to use one day to send astronauts on missions into deep space, including a mission to Mars and another to retrieve an asteroid for study.
According to NASA, after the Orion was...
