1) Design Perfect Classroom. 2) Have Cocktail. Slate invites you to have drinks and brainstorm ideas about the classroom of the future at Nov. 8 event in D.C. For the past several weeks, Slate and our readers have been working together to reimagine the school classroom for the 21st century. You've submitted scores of fascinating ideas for our crowdsourcing project, involving everything from outdoor classes to hexagonal rooms to better furniture. (Check them out here.) Now it's time for the next step: getting us all together in a room to trade ideas, brainstorm, and have some free drinks. So I'm delighted to invite you to join us for a conversation at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 8. Several really smart education thinkers will talk briefly about the challenges and opportunities in redesigning American classrooms. After that, we'll split up into groups and swaps ideas about fixing the classroom—ideas, and perhaps even actual plans, that we will publish and publicize on Slate. And then we'll break for food and cocktails, and you'll get a chance to meet fellow Slate readers, architects, educators, and students.   I hope to see you there.

Spiritual Life 14 Ways to Outlive Your Life Whitney Hopler Saying "yes" to God when He wants to do great works through you will create a positive legacy that will outlive your earthly life. Read the full article here Faith & The Church Dr. Harry Kraus on How the Church Has Domesticated Jesus Shawn McEvoy Gentle Jesus, meek and mild? Or, have we forgotten how wild and untamed the Lord really is? We interview the author of Domesticated Jesus to find out. Read the full article here Will Evangelicalism Die or Revive: An Excerpt from My Almost for His Highest John Barber Once there was a highway to heaven, full of born-again souls on a pilgrimage to their heavenly Zion. That highway is quickly being paved over with the veneer of casual Christianity. What is the cause of our sickness? Why is evangelicalism dying? Read the full article here Bankruptcy in the Cathedral Albert Mohler It turns out that Robert Schuller offers the best analysis of this crisis with his own words. "No church has a money problem; churches only have idea problems." The theological crisis in Garden Grove is far more significant than the financial crisis. Read the full article here Entertainment Chilly Winter's Bone Gives Glimpse into Desperate Lives Christian Hamaker Depicting the lives of the rural poor facing dire circumstances, Winter's Bone is not a pretty picture. Yet it is an artful film with a harrowing ending that delivers a punch to the gut that, unlike the effect of mainstream summer movies, lingers long after the closing credits. Read the full article here Sex and the City 2 Even More Embarrassing Than Its Predecessor Christa Banister For a show that's always championed the cause of sisters doin' it for themselves, Sex and the City 2 manages to derail that mission (and anything resembling good taste along the way) in an excruciatingly long two hours and 26 minutes. Read the full article here The Six-Liter Club is a Story Out of Time Susan Ellingburg The Six-Liter Club is the fictional story of Camille Weller, the first African-American and female surgeon hired in the Emergency Room of the Medical College of Virginia. In the 1980s, this would have been a big deal. Now, not so much. Unfortunately, there's nothing in the story that gives us a sense of the eighties, which gave the whole story a feeling of déjà vu.
