Christianity has historically been willing to discuss all sorts of topics, as we confess that we are living in this very concrete world where various topics come up! God is not indifferent to our culture, to scientific inquiry, to literary pursuits, or to the way social and political discourse occurs. On the contrary, He created it all! Rather than attempting to escape from academia, our goal is to show that God in Christ welcomes those who would ask serious questions and investigate difficult concepts. You are invited to our "open door" discussions, inviting scholars on the graduate level and above to make brief presentations of research they are performing, then invite questions. We hope you will join us for our first discussion, at the Heidelberg (410 South 9th Street), on Wednesday, August 30. The room will be ready for your food and drink orders starting at 5:00, and the discussion will get under way by about 5:30, lasting approximately an hour. This month's presentation will be made by Dr. Nelson Akpabli-Tsigbe, who is a specialist in food science and extracting components from food by-products by means of fermentation to make useful products. This is an interdisciplinary presentation and will have time for your questions as well!  Ready for some traditional American Fall Fun?

Our first presentation will be made by Hunter Kevil, who holds several advanced degrees in the humanities, including a Ph.D. in French Literature. After a lengthy career which included education as well as management and data analysis, he has become increasingly interested in the complex interactions of issues dealing with how we and government view other people, which gets to the heart of our approach to immigration. He will discuss some of the considerations which could inform us as we seek out a sane approach to immigration, keeping current politics to the side. There will be a substantial period for your questions as well! |
