Steve Sherwood speaks in first LACI lecture of semester

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014

Join us for the first Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the semester this Monday, Jan. 27, when Steve Sherwood, assistant professor for youth evangelism and discipleship here at George Fox, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation ties into our theme “State of the World.”

Sherwood will speak on the topic “Why Can’t We Talk to Each Other?,” in which he will address the fact that, in politics, churches, on Internet message boards and beyond, Americans are increasingly yelling past one another rather than talking with each other. What can be done about it? What is a Christian vision of discourse in America?

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.
