On his recent trip to England, President Robin Baker had the opportunity to visit a pen museum in Birmingham, a city that was once the center of pen manufacturing in the world.
The trip not only gave Robin, a collector of pens, a chance to learn more about his hobby, it inspired him to reflect on how the practice of writing has changed dramatically in recent years. You can read his thoughts in this blog post.
The William Penn Honors Program invites the public to a free lecture, “Rethinking Azusa: If It Wasn’t for the Women,†presented by professor and author Keri Day, tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
Day, an associate professor of constructive theology and African American religion at Princeton Theological Seminary, will present a moving examination of the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 to 1915 and powerfully weave her talk into the contemporary concerns of today.
Day’s teaching and research interests are in womanist/feminist theologies, social critical theory, cultural studies, economics, and Afro-Pentecostalism. She is the author of Unfinished Business: Black Women, The Black Church, and the Struggle to Thrive in America (2012) and Religious Resistance to Neoliberalism: Womanist and Black Feminist Perspectives (2015).
She is at work on her third book manuscript, which explores how early Pentecostalism contributes to the religious and democratic imagination. In 2017, she was recognized by ABC News as one of six black women at the “center of gravity†in theological education in America.

We are still in need of willing volunteers to serve as ushers at spring commencement on Saturday, May 4. Come help take tickets at the gate, hand out programs, direct graduates’ family and friends to their seats, and make graduation a special event for everyone!

In his recent visit to England, President Robin Baker had an opportunity to visit Bunhill Fields, a cemetery in London that is the burial place for those who were considered “dissenters” in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Not far from Bunhill is the gravesite of George Fox, an unassuming grave that is representative of the Quakers’ belief that “all are valuable” and that “all are made one in death.” You can read his reflections on the trip in this blog post.
