The William Penn Honors Program invites you to hear theologian and ethicist Matthew Kaemingk present a thought-provoking Christian perspective on the growing debates over Muslim presence in the West. Rejecting both fearful nationalism and romantic multiculturalism, Kaemingk makes the case for a third way — a Christian pluralism that is committed to both the historic Christian faith and the public rights, dignity and freedom of Islam.
The lecture is Thursday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101-103 and is free and open to the public.
Please send any questions to Jocelyn Stein at jstein@georgefox.edu.
