Our “Faith Journey” group goes on a “field trip” on March 15th to Elmhurst College to be part of one of their “Still Speaking: Conversations on Faith” presentations. This one features scholar and teacher Walter Brueggemann and EC president S. Alan Ray. We’ll circulate some e-mails among the group to see if we want to car pool, and we’ll open the invitation to others in the church family. Below is the very brief blurb the College distributed about the evening.
STILL SPEAKING: CONVERSATIONS ON FAITH
A Conversation on Evil with Elmhurst College President S. Alan Ray
Walter Brueggemann, Elmhurst College Class of 1955, is widely acknowledged as the foremost Christian scholar of the Hebrew Bible. No scripture scholar in America sells more books or informs more sermons. Jane Fisler-Hoffman, of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ, is a former student of Brueggemann’s. “When we pastors are at our best,” she says, “we do what he does—wrestle with the Word, look at the world around us, and put the two together in a way that touches lives.”
