Don’t forget to attend a free concert commemorating a recent upgrade to the university’s pipe organ. The Organ Dedication Concert, featuring musicians Dan Miller on organ and Kenn Willson on piano, will take the Bauman Auditorium stage at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow (Friday). General seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The university recently purchased a Rodgers Digital Organ. By the use of digital technology, the organ’s original pipes have been connected to the digital organ. In doing so, the university preserved the original pipe organ installed in the early 1980s while greatly enhancing the quality of sound.

The program will include the selections Toccata and Fugue in D-minor by Bach, a patriotic tribute including the Navy Hymn, a medley from The Phantom of the Opera and one piano and organ duet on the tune Lord of the Dance (arranged by Joel Raney).

In addition, Miller will share for about 10 minutes, introducing the audience to the newly completed organ. He will give some demonstrations as well.

Don’t forget to join us for the university’s fifth annual Dalton Lecture tonight (Thursday) as Dr. William Phillips, a 1997 Nobel Prize winner in physics, presents at 7:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. The free presentation is entitled “Ordinary Faith, Ordinary Science,” in which he will speak on the common ground shared between faith and science. A George Fox student research poster session and dessert reception will follow Phillips’ lecture.

Among the questions Phillips will address are queries that can be particularly troublesome for a Christian: “Why is there suffering if God is good?” “What about all the terrible things done in the name of religion?” and “What about all the good people who are on a different path of faith than Christianity?”

Phillips will also speak this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. on the topic “Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe” in Wood-Mar Auditorium (please note location update from Wednesday’s announcement).
