SUMMARY:Public Reading of Scripture
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday mornings for our Public Reading of Scripture on the Knoll! \n  \nOur Public Reading of Scripture events are a time to gather in community to hear The Bible read aloud while sharing a meal. \nAll you have to do is listen. \nThis multi-level experience will allow you to slow down and absorb the Word of God without pressure or expectation. \n  \nWhy Join Public Reading of Scripture\nThe Bible is a Key\nThe Bible has had such an impact in the history of humanity\, learning more about what it says and teaches will unlock a new understanding to history and literature. \nIt’s a Biblical Practice\nIn Scripture we often see God’s people receive God’s Word aloud together as a community. \nSpiritual Food\nWhile we are all very aware that we need food to duel our physical bodies\, reading scripture is a spiritual discipline we can practice to feed ourselves spiritually. \nA Better Bible Strategy\nIt takes 90 hours to listen to the Bible in it’s entirety\, yet hardly anyone every reads through it all. Many of us want to read more of the Bible\, but few have a disciplined strategy to succeed. Reading/hearing Scripture aloud in community makes it easy as you listen while you eat and find a small community of people who journey through the Bible with you over the year. \nHope to see you on the Knoll!

SUMMARY:Theological Society: Robert Jenson
DESCRIPTION:Reading Discussion: \n“Canon” and “Creed”\nRobert W. Jenson \n  \nThis society seeks to gather Cornell faculty and graduate students to discuss major themes in biblical and theological studies. Our discussion aims to satisfy what Simone Weil once described as the basic need of the soul to consider “every sort of opinion\, without the least restriction or reserve.” To this end\, we invite dialogue that explores and even challenges historic orthodox beliefs as well as those ideas that reign in the contemporary church\, academy\, and culture. \nOur dialogue is collegial and cordial without shying away from the hard questions scholars face in their life and work. Members of the group seek to nurture discussion by listening attentively to one another\, guarding the length of our responses\, and avoiding diversions to pet issues unrelated to the subject at hand. In short\, we seek to embody a uniquely Christian form of intellectual hospitality that we can pass on to future generations.

SUMMARY:Gender\, Family\, and Patriarchy In Ancient Israel
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nGender\, Family\, and Patriarchy In Ancient Israel\n\nA Conversation with Cynthia Shafer-Elliott Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament at Baylor University \n\nSeptember 25th\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\nThe Bible is often assumed by traditionalist conservatives to enshrine an idealized notion of “family”. Progressive Christians counter with assumptions about ancient gender inequality and patriarchal dominance that anachronistically project current notions onto ancient historical cultures. But recent archeological and social-historical studies suggest both of these fail to understand the ancient world of the Hebrew Bible on its own terms. \nWhile family inheritance was usually passed along through male heirs and patriarchy was a reality\, the average household was larger and more complicated than many recognize\, allowing for a more fluid sharing of authority and responsibility among the men and women in a community. Join us as Prof Cynthia Shafer-Elliott introduces us to the latest research of ancient households. \nCynthia Shafer-Elliott Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament at Baylor University\nDr. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott joined the Religion Department at Baylor University in 2022 from her native California. Her expertise and research focus on the historical\, cultural\, and social contexts of ancient Israel and Judah as reflected within both the archaeological record and the Hebrew Bible (with a particular interest in the Former Prophets). More specifically\, Dr. Shafer-Elliott’s research emphasizes household archaeology and issues of food\, gender\, religion\, and social memory. She is an experienced field archaeologist and is part of the archaeological excavations at Tel Halif and Tel Abel Beth Maacah in Israel. In 2018 she was the Ernest S. Frerichs Annual Professor at the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research (Jerusalem). Furthermore\, Dr. Shafer-Elliott is involved with the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR)\, the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL)\, and the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research (AIAR) in Jerusalem.\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Theological Society: The Need for Order
DESCRIPTION:Reading Discussion: \nThe Need for Order\nSimon Weil excerpt (cf. C. Levi-Strauss\, Savage Mind) \n\nThis society seeks to gather Cornell faculty and graduate students to discuss major themes in biblical and theological studies. Discussion aims to satisfy what Simone Weil once described as the basic need of the soul to consider “every sort of opinion\, without the least restriction or reserve.” To this end\, we invite dialogue that explores and even challenges historic orthodox beliefs as well as those ideas that reign in the contemporary church\, academy\, and culture. \nOur dialogue is collegial and cordial without shying away from the hard questions scholars face in their life and work. Members of the group seek to nurture discussion by listening attentively to one another\, guarding the length of our responses\, and avoiding diversions to pet issues unrelated to the subject at hand. In short\, we seek to embody a uniquely Christian form of intellectual hospitality that we can pass on to future generations.

SUMMARY:Public Reading of Scripture in Sage Chapel
DESCRIPTION:Join us journey through the entire Bible together in the beautiful Sage Chapel\, and snag a free lunch! \nThe Bible is a masterpiece of world literature and of immense historical significance.

We’ll be here every week this semester\, and we can’t wait for you to join us! \n

SUMMARY:Faith\, Race\, and Environmental Justice: The Lead Water Crisis in Benton Harbor\, Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by Chesterton House\, InterVarsity\, Graduate Christian Fellowship\, and GPSAFC \nFaith\, Race\, and Environmental Justice: The Lead Water Crisis in Benton Harbor\, Michigan\nA Conversation with Rev Edward Pinkney\, Environmental Justice Advocate and Educator \nOpen to the Graduate Community and All Interested \nFriday\, May 5th\, 2023\n7pm – 8:30pm\nRockefeller 201\, Cornell Campus\nor via Zoom\n\nREGISTER HERE!\n\nIn October 2021\, local news turned international: Benton Harbor\, a small Michigan town along the shores of Lake Michigan\, was dubbed “the next Flint” for lead in its water pipes above and beyond federally safe levels. Reverend Edward Pinkney\, local pastor and president of the Benton Harbor Community Water Council\, helped lead a grassroots effort to achieve safer water for the community. Hear Rev. Pinkney’s story and insights into effective community environmental advocacy. \n\n\nRev Edward Pinkney\, Environmental Justice Advocate and Educator\n\n\nReverend Edward Pinkney is a long-time advocate for social and economic justice for Benton Harbor\, a small town in Southwest Michigan. He is pastor of God’s Household of Faith Church and the founder of numerous community-based organizations. In 2003\, he founded the Black Autonomy Network Community Organization\, a political and social justice coalition working in Benton Harbor in the wake of a death of a 28-year-old African American while being pursued by police. He’s also established the Benton Harbor Community Water Council\, where he sits as president. The water council was key in bringing to the EPA and media attention the lead water crisis in Benton Harbor in 2021\, leading to the replacement of the pipes. His church was also a leading distributor of water and educational space for the community about the dangers of ingesting lead. \n  \n\nPlease contact Francine Barchett at fgb43@cornell.edu any special arrangements you may require in order to attend this event
