The Cultural Enterprise invites you to hear from author and guest speaker Curtis Chang on Thursday, Oct. 27. We’ll host a faculty coffee at 3 p.m., during which he’ll discuss his recently published work on the theology of organizations, and a 7 p.m. public lecture on post-partisan faith.
Both events are in Canyon Commons, and refreshments will be served.
Faculty Coffee
Chang makes the provocative claim that human institutions participate in the Imago Dei. He argues that this insight is deeply grounded in Scripture and theology. Moreover, this central insight opens up a range of practical insights and motivations for the organizational life of all Christians, especially those working in “secular” entities.
Come hear Chang share about a robust theology of institutions, and bring your questions and thoughts!
Public Lecture: “When Politics Strains Relationships”
Have political divisions caused tension in the relationships in your family, school, church, work or community? Learn how to become a “post-partisan Christian” and how this new identity can heal our relationships – and hopefully our society. A livestream will be available here.
About Chang
Chang straddles the worlds of secular institutions and theology. As a management consultant, he has won a White House award for social innovation as the founder and head of Consulting Within Reach (CWR), a firm serving nonprofits and government agencies. He also is on the faculty of American University in Washington D.C., where he teaches strategic planning.
As a theologian, Chang is a consulting professor at the Duke Divinity School and is a senior fellow at Fuller Theological Seminary. He currently co-hosts (with David French) the Good Faith podcast, which is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts.
Contact Sarah Taylor at taylors@georgefox.edu for more information about his visit.
