As a result employees will find greater meaning and motivation from the work they are doing every day. </p><p>http://clickstop.com/the-leading-edge-leadership-development-workshops/</p> 2019-01-16 11:00:00 -0600

Religion vs. Science? Don't Believe It
<p>Popular culture, public discourse, and the media are pervaded by endlessly reiterated claims that science and religion are incompatible. But do they represent antagonistic worldviews, the one based on reason and evidence, the other on faith and the rejection of evidence? This self-serving misrepresentation depends on mistaken assumptions about what the natural sciences can and cannot explain, as well as on a cartoonish view of "religion" that makes no distinctions among different religious traditions or theological claims. This lecture will show how the assumption that science and religion are inherently conflictual is mistaken—and how properly understood, whatever is true about the natural world does not and cannot conflict with true religion.</p><p><strong>Dr. Brad Gregory</strong> | Professor of History and Dorothy G. Griffin Collegiate Chair, University of Notre Dame</p><p>This event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series: Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?</p><p>More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason</p>2/21/197:00 p.m.Mount Mercy University, Chapel of MercyCedar Rapids -

[Insight @ FPC CR] Who is the real Jesus? - Discipleship as Obedience, Not Observance
<p>[Insight @ FPC CR] Who is the real Jesus? - Discipleship as Obedience, Not Observance</p><p>Who is the real Jesus? What should this mean in our faith and in our lives? Will there be a new Reformation? Should there be? What is taught in mainline seminaries we do not usually hear in such radical terms. Jesus did have a radical life-altering teaching which will seem controversial for some, but a great basis for discussion. The basis for this nine-week series that started January 6th, is the book by Robin Meyers, Saving Jesus From the Church: How to Stop Worshipping Christ and Start Following Jesus.</p><p><br></p><p>These discussions will be led by Gary Connors-Boe, is a former Lutheran pastor and retired in 2018 from his work at Four Oaks where he was coordinator of the After School Program. Please join us from 9 am to 10 am in the Wernimont Room at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Cedar Rapids.

Power and Protest: Political Photography and Prints
<p>American politics have been contentious for as long as America has existed. Drawn from the CRMA’s own collection of photographs and prints, Power and Protest celebrates the glossy official images of political power, the behind-the-scenes work to keep people there, and the demonstrations, marches, and rallies that spoke to that power. Power and Protest was designed as a complement to the John F. Kennedy exhibition and both emphasize the role art has had in shaping the political views of our nation.</p><p>This exhibition has been made possible by the McIntyre Foundation and the Diamond V Corporate Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. </p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Ben Shahn, <em>Martin Luther King Jr</em>., 1966, wood engraving, 24 7/8 x 20 1/16 inches, gift of Peter O.

Terra Nova: Ten Years
<p><strong>Terra Nova: Ten Years</strong></p><p>The CRMA celebrates ten years of collaborating with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio. In 2009, the CRMA began meeting with artists who had completed residencies at the Ceramics Center and acquiring a piece of their work—often completed during their residency—for the Museum’s collection. This mutually beneficial arrangement allowed the artists to establish themselves in a museum collection and receive professional experience with curators while growing the CRMA’s collection of three-dimensional art. The exhibition will display artwork from every resident from 2009 to 2018 and both executive directors, a testament to the fruitfulness of this collaboration.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>April Woolsey, <em>Ascending Blocks</em>, 2003, terracotta, 13 ¼ x 6 1/3 inches, gift of the artist, 2010.037. </p><p><em>This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible by the GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation Donor-Advised Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.
