I enjoyed the spring issue of Spark. In particular, I found the article on Debra Freeburg’s production of “The Amish Project” compelling. I know the show and reading the article about the production (“Project: Forgiveness”) made it come alive for me. The design of the piece was also sensitive and effective.
When I turned to the last page of Spark, I got a surge of emotion. There was my dear father (John VandenBerg)—a much younger man than I had said good-bye to over the last year, but utterly familiar and endearing. My family history is thoroughly bound up in Calvin and its traditions and the institution means a great deal to me.
