The Daily Bruin

The university’s Center for Peace and Justice welcomes Stuart Willcuts, Mercy Corps country director in Ukraine, to speak at the 2016 John Woolman Peacemaking Forum on Tuesday, April 12. Our theme this year is “Fostering Peace and Justice Through the Lens of Service.”

Stuart, a 1972 alumnus of George Fox, has dedicated his life to promoting peace and reconciliation during complex humanitarian crisis events. He will speak on restoring hope to the most vulnerable during chapel in Bauman Auditorium at 10:50 a.m.

The evening event, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105, is open to the community. Stuart will share real-life stories about his courageous work as a disciple of Christ serving the world. He will also be presented the John Woolman Peacemaking Award for his lifetime of international humanitarian service to those who have been marginalized by and suffered from war and oppression.

Come engage in civil dialogue and good food with a panel and others at a new discussion series called Matheteis. Join us for a nice dinner this Monday, April 11, at 5:30 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Matheteis is an event where we create space for civil discourse to current issues in society by exploring them from a biblical perspective. Our first topic for this discussion series is “Donald Trump: The Evangelical Conundrum.”

Why are so many Evangelicals supporting and voting for Trump? What is it about him that appeals to people, but particularly Christians? Follow this link to save your spot! For this first event, we only have 20 student spots available, and there is a charge of $5 at the door.

This event is sponsored by the Intercultural Life Office and the Center for Peace and Justice.

Questions or concerns? Email Sierra Brambila at sbrambila13@georgefox.edu.
