All invited to special presentation on Lewis’s ‘The Abolition of Man’ this Monday

Tuesday, March 7th, 2023

The Apologetics Initiative and the C. S. Lewis Initiative invite you to a special presentation by Dr. Paul Lorenzini’s, “C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man Eighty Years Later: An Engineer’s Perspective,” at 5 p.m. this Monday, March 13, in Hoover 103.

Eighty years ago, Lewis published his most highly regarded book, The Abolition of Man, in which he critiques the secularization of Western cultures and warns that, unchecked, the consequences for modern humanity are significant and destructive.

By comparing Lewis’s projections with modern cultural critiques, Dr. Lorenzini asks how a revived view of Lewis’s analysis might inform a modern apologetic. All are welcome to join us for this thought-provoking presentation.

Please reach out to Emma Rieth at erieth@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Volunteers needed to usher at spring commencement

This format allows a more personalized and celebratory atmosphere for our graduates and their families and, like last year, we are calling for “all-community” participation. What a thrill it is to see graduates, their families, and friends come together to celebrate!

Volunteers are vital to the smooth execution of the day’s events and help make the day memorable for our graduates and their guests. This day could not happen without you!

Staff members, please sign up for a time to serve in one of the two ceremonies. A $50 stipend or three hours of time off (with supervisor approval) is available for those employees not already scheduled to work. Non-employees who volunteer will receive a $50 gift card.
