The Hopkins Dialectic
Who are we?
We are The Hopkins Dialectic, the first
student-ran journal for Christian thought on the Johns Hopkins University
Campus. As an official member of the Augustine Collective, we share the vision
of creating a space to discuss how Christianity intersects with other facets of
our life, such as science, philosophy, social justice and literature.
Ultimately, our goal is to produce publications which promote embodied
discussion between Christians and non-Christians beyond the page.
Our progress
Last spring semester, we launched the first
issue of our journal. With great financial support and prayers, we were able to
print 550 copies for our inaugural issue and were able to start up our website, www.jhudialectic.org. On this website, you
can find a pdf copy of our Spring '16 journal and each individual article.
In addition, last spring we were able to host 4
round table discussions on-campus where we discussed the four cardinal
virtues Plato first established in The Republic. This project was received well
by the student body and we hope to continue these discussions.
This summer we took a different approach and
started a new branch of our journal, THDvideo. Through THDvideo we have
started a summer video series. This series, ForeWod, addresses the more
personal elements of faith by demonstrating how Christ’s words and theological
principles have influenced our brothers and sisters’ personal testimonies. You
can check out all the installments of the series on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thehopkinsdialectic/
Overall, our journal has been
successful thus far in having a great impact on our campus; however, this coming fall,
our hope is to go even further.
The plan
This coming fall, we have three primary
objectives:
1. To print at least 550 copies of our Fall
issue to disperse about the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus.
2. To host at least 5 round table discussions on
campus and one larger, formal speaker event
3. To start a new branch of our journal,
THDnewsletter, which sends out electronic weekly newsletter via email
Your assistance
In order to complete all of this, we estimate
that we will need a total of $3000. This amount includes the cost of printing
out all the journals, and the cost of purchasing supplies and resources to host
the events. For this reason, we ask that you please help us however you can
through financial donations and prayers. We would greatly appreciate your
assistance as we prepare to take our journal ministry to the next level.
Thank you for helping us as we seek to impact
the lives of our college students.
