We've received word that Westmont College has been affected by wildfires rushing through Santa Barbara. A number of secondary buildings have been destroyed. Thankfully, there are no reports of human injury or death on the campus. Here's a link to information posted on CTI's site: http://blog.christianitytoday.com/ctliveblog/archives/2008/11/fire_destroys_p.html
Our co-blogger Tremper Longman teaches at Westmont. I tried to reach him this morning, but so far I have not been able to connect with him. Please pray for wisdom for the college administrators as they wrestle with the implications of this campus tragedy.

A quick follow up. I saw Tremper on Nov. 23 at our annual dinner for NLT scholars. He and his wife were not directly affected by the fire, but 14 of his colleagues on the Westmont faculty lost their homes.
Westmont College lost a number of buildings, but most of them were old and substandard.
