SUMMARY:Public Reading of Scripture
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to breakfast and a “Public Reading of Scripture” every Friday morning. \nThe Public Reading of Scripture helped God’s people remember who God is\, who they were\, and who they are called to be. This practice was so important to Paul that in 1 Timothy 4:13\, he instructed all to “… devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture\, to preaching and to teaching.” Come eat\, listen\, and share in this historic practice with us weekly at the women’s residence. \nMade possible by the Grace and Mercy Foundation

SUMMARY:God\, Politics\, and the Healing of the Nations | Spring Course
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible today to act in faith as a follower of God and participate in modern politics? Will religion misshape and misdirect our efforts to achieve justice? Or will political engagement misshape and misdirect our efforts to follow God? This course takes us on a journey through some deeper historical currents of Christian reflection on politics\, and their attempts to answer these questions. A number of special guest visitors will introduce a few systematic approaches to the church’s relation to the state (e.g. Augustinian\, Lutheran\, Reformed\, Catholic social thought\, Anabaptist etc.). Rather than focus on immediate political questions of today\, we will step back and hear from these traditions in their own time\, and their attempts to take a complex Biblical inheritance and apply it to social and political dilemmas in front of them. Our aim is to refresh our hopes\, visions\, and commitments both to God as well as to fallible human communities and governments. This mini-course has short weekly readings. \nREGISTER NOW\nSpeakers: \n  \nJohn Owen- “God and Politics: Three Christian Views. \nJohn M. Owen is Amb. Henry J. and Mrs. Marion R.

SUMMARY:God\, Politics\, and the Healing of the Nations | Spring Course
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible today to act in faith as a follower of God and participate in modern politics? Will religion misshape and misdirect our efforts to achieve justice? Or will political engagement misshape and misdirect our efforts to follow God? This course takes us on a journey through some deeper historical currents of Christian reflection on politics\, and their attempts to answer these questions. A number of special guest visitors will introduce a few systematic approaches to the church’s relation to the state (e.g. Augustinian\, Lutheran\, Reformed\, Catholic social thought\, Anabaptist etc.). Rather than focus on immediate political questions of today\, we will step back and hear from these traditions in their own time\, and their attempts to take a complex Biblical inheritance and apply it to social and political dilemmas in front of them. Our aim is to refresh our hopes\, visions\, and commitments both to God as well as to fallible human communities and governments.

SUMMARY:Servant Leadership in Action
DESCRIPTION:Few people have influenced the day-to-day management of people and companies more than Ken Blanchard. A prominent\, sought-after author\, speaker\, and business consultant\, Dr. Blanchard is respected for his lifetime of groundbreaking research and thought leadership that has influenced the day-to-day management and leadership of people and companies throughout the world. \nWith a passion to turn every leader into a servant leader\, Ken Blanchard shares his insightful and powerful message with audiences around the world through speeches\, consulting services\, and bestselling books. When Ken speaks\, he speaks from the heart with warmth and humor. No matter how large the audience\, he is able to communicate with each person as if the two of them were alone and talking one on one. Ken is a sophisticated storyteller with a knack for making the seemingly complex easy to understand. \nKen’s impact as an author is far reaching. His iconic 1982 classic\, The One Minute Manager\, coauthored with Spencer Johnson\, has sold more than 13 million copies and remains on bestseller lists today. In the past three decades he has authored or coauthored 60 books whose combined sales total more than 21 million copies. His groundbreaking works—including Raving Fans\, The Secret\, and Leading at a Higher Level\, to name just a few—have been translated into more than 42 languages. In 2005 Ken was inducted into Amazon’s Hall of Fame as one of the top 25 bestselling authors of all time. \nDr. Ken Blanchard is the cofounder and Chief Spiritual Officer of The Ken Blanchard Companies\, an international management training and consulting firm that he and his wife\, Margie Blanchard\, began in 1979 in San Diego\, California. In addition to being a renowned speaker\, author and consultant\, Ken is a trustee emeritus of the Board of Trustees at his alma mater\, Cornell University\, and he also teaches students in the Master of Science in Executive Leadership Program at the University of San Diego. \nBorn in New Jersey and raised in New York\, Ken received his master’s degree from Colgate University and his bachelor’s and doctorate degrees from Cornell University. \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Public Reading of Scripture
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to breakfast and a “Public Reading of Scripture” every Friday morning. \nThe Public Reading of Scripture helped God’s people remember who God is\, who they were\, and who they are called to be. This practice was so important to Paul that in 1 Timothy 4:13\, he instructed all to “… devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture\, to preaching and to teaching.” Come eat\, listen\, and share in this historic practice with us weekly at the women’s residence. \nMade possible by the Grace and Mercy Foundation

SUMMARY:Dante & Aquinas on Love and the Moral Life
DESCRIPTION:Dante is one of the greatest poets in the West\, and he is also a superb Thomist. He not only represents the ethics\, philosophical psychology\, and philosophical theology of Aquinas\, but he extends the Thomist worldview by enfleshing it in gripping stories and memorable images. In this short course\, we will consider the nature and structure of Dante’s Inferno\, and then we will look in detail at his representation and exposition of the sins of opportunism\, lust\, gluttony\, avarice\, wrath\, and treachery. We will learn something about the way in which Dante uses narrative and poetic devices to illuminate deep truths about human life\, and we will also gain insight into the powerful Christian worldview Aquinas inherits and passes on.\n\n\n\nDates/time:\nFriday – 12/4 \nTuesday – 12/8 \nFriday – 12/11 \nTuesday – 12/15 \n4:00 – 6:00 pm EST \n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEleonore Stump is the Robert J. Henle Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University. She is an Honorary Professor at Wuhan University and at the Logos Institute\, St. Andrews\, and a Professorial Fellow at Australian Catholic University. She has published extensively in philosophy of religion\, contemporary metaphysics\, and medieval philosophy.
