All are welcome to the final Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture tonight (Monday), when Rev. Peter Eberle, a Benedictine monk at Mount Angel Abbey and Seminary, speaks on the topic “Is the Benedictine Option Benedictine?” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Rod Dreher, an American conservative Christian, has proposed the “Benedict Option” as a response to our contemporary secular culture. Rev. Eberle will explore the proposed option and, describing and drawing from his own experience as a Benedictine monk, will consider whether the option is “Benedictine.” What are the similarities? What are the differences?

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.

The university community is invited to an all-employee meeting from 3:30 to 5 p.m. this Thursday, March 31, in Hoover 105. The event will be live-streamed at the Portland Center in Room 160.
