The university community is invited to attend a special guest lecture at 6:30 p.m. tonight (Monday), when Peter Boghossian, former Portland State philosophy professor, presents a talk entitled “Impossible Conversations,” based on his coauthored book How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide.

As part of his talk, Boghossian will discuss the importance of civil, intellectually diverse discourse in the academy. The event is sponsored by the university’s politics program and the George Fox Civility Project.

The talk is open to the general public and will be in Hoover 105. Contact Gina Johnson at gjohnson@georgefox.edu for more information.

Estimates suggest that as many as 100,000 churches may close by 2025 and that $3.5 billion of church property will change hands in 2022. The speed and scale of this change is unprecedented and will impact the social fabric of neighborhoods and cities.

Question: If you could take ownership of an abandoned church property/asset (church building, houses , vans, etc.), how would you choose to use it and what purpose would it serve? Please share your thoughts using this survey being conducted as part of Randy Woodley’s History of Religion in America class.

Thanks for your participation! Contact Patti Togioka at ptogioka20@georgefox.edu with any questions.

We are conducting a PsyD dissertation research project, “Resilience and Cultural Connectiveness within the Native American/Indigenous Population,” and would appreciate your feedback. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete our survey.

We are looking for participants with any Native American/American Indian Indigenous heritage. The purpose of this research is to show how resilience/strength, cultural identity, spiritual identity, and cultural connectiveness are reflected within the Indigenous population.

At the end of the survey is the option to enter a raffle (rewards include three $100 Visa gift cards) as a thank you. We have received IRB approval through George Fox, and as a tribal partnership project we place an emphasis on participant safety and a culturally humble approach to Indigenous research.

Thank you for considering participation in our research. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, please feel free to contact Winston Seegobin at wseegobin@georgefox.edu or Lindsay Price at lprice18@georgefox.edu.
