Forester Lecture Series
“Making Friends with Darwin”
Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 MCA
Karl Giberson, Professor of Physics at Eastern
Nazarene College, will deliver the first Forester
Lecture Series lecture of the fall semester. His
presentation is designated the third annual
“Examined Christian Life Lecture,” and details his
personal experience in wrestling with the faith
implications of Darwinism. The lecture is Thursday,
September 10 at 7:00 in the Zurcher Auditorium of
the MCA. Karl Giberson’s book, Saving Darwin:
How to be a Christian and Believe in Evolution (HarperOne,
2009) is available on loan at RichLyn Library.
Theology Reading Group
This is an informal group, a time to collectively
wrestle with readings related to theology, culture,
and the Christian life. All are certainly welcome to
join as we read this fall Telford Work’s book on the
Lord’s Prayer, Ain’t Too Proud to Beg: Living
Through the Lord’s Prayer (Eerdmans, 2007). Work is
an exciting young theologian and engaging writer to
boot. As we read this book and pray through the
Lord’s Prayer ourselves, I have no doubt you will be
challenged and heartened in equal measure. Chapel
credit will be awarded for participation and you
must purchase the book (copies can be had through
Amazon for less than $4). We will collectively
choose a meeting time at an informational meeting on
September 9, 4:30 PM at Loew-Brenn 220. Please
direct questions to me at
keilers@huntington.edu.
