The Daily Bruin

Don’t forget to join us for the annual Woolman Peacemaking Forum lecture, presented Wednesday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105. Emmanuel Katongole, associate professor of theology and world Christianity at Duke Divinity School and co-director of the Duke Center for Reconciliation, will speak on “Justice and Peace: Hopes that are the Wrong Size for this World.”

The program also will feature Micah Bournes, a poet, rapper and writer who is one of the scriptwriters for The Voice of Justice, a short film that personifies justice and injustice.

Katongole also will speak in chapel in Bauman Auditorium Wednesday morning. The topic of his presentation will be “From Mulabe to Newberg: Lessons Along the Way.” A brown-bag lunch with Katongole will follow in the Cap and Gown Room.

Finally, a Peace and Justice Symposium is scheduled for Thursday, April 14, in the Quaker Heritage Room on the second floor of the MLRC. Refreshments will be served at 7:15 p.m., and the program will begin at 7:30 p.m. with presenters Colin Saxton, superintendent of the Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends, and Laura Goble, director of the Moreau Center for Service and Leadership.

Did you miss our booth in the SUB last week, but still want to make a difference and aid in relieving the Kenyan water crisis?

We still have water bottles and shower timers available for purchase. All the money we make will go toward building a well in Kenya! For more information, please contact Lauren Peña at lpena10@georgefox.edu.

A retirement reception for Howard Macy (Religious Studies) is scheduled for this Tuesday, April 19, in the Hoover atrium between 4 and 5 p.m. Please come and wish Howard well as we celebrate and appreciate his contributions to our university for the past 21 years.

You are invited to join the Community Garden as we begin the season with a work party and celebrate with a salmon bake between 5 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 13.

If you have not been part of the garden in the past, but are interested in joining, this is a great time to start! In a time when there are more toxins in our increasingly expensive store-bought food, why not learn to grow your own? And enjoy eating it throughout the summer and fall? The salmon is provided. Bring some other dish, if you can. But if not, just come, PLAY IN THE DIRT AND EAT!

The community garden is located between the old hospital (VAC) and Coffin. Growing your own food is a great way to extend and improve the trip between the hospital and the coffin.
