Gordon's student literary magazine, The Idiom, wishes for this session to be a chance to take a closer look at what goes into The Idiom and what it means to us. Some of the students who were published this year will share and read from their work, followed by an open discussion. A lot of the pieces in this edition are prayerful and reflective, which is the kind of writing that slows you down and makes you think. In that way, we think it connects naturally to this year's theme of Beauty and Justice, since literature has a way of holding both at once. We'll also talk about some of the recent changes The Idiom has gone through as a publication and what direction it's heading. This grows out of the real work students are doing here at Gordon, both in and out of the classroom, and we're excited to share it with the broader community.
