Religion vs. Science? Don't Believe It

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.Dr. Brad Gregory | Professor of History and Dorothy G. Griffin Collegiate Chair, University of Notre DameThis event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series: Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason

Gruwell will be available after the lecture for discussion and a book signing. Gruwell will also be speaking to the teachers of Decorah High School and Middle School the morning of Feb. 20.Inspired by Anne Frank and Zlata Filipovic, who lived in war-torn Sarajevo, Gruwell fosters an educational philosophy that values and promotes diversity. She encourages her students to rethink rigid beliefs about themselves and others, reconsider their daily decisions and ultimately re-chart their own futures. Many of her students have overcome hardships such as teen pregnancy, drugs and violence to become aspiring college students, published writers and catalysts for change. They published a book "The Freedom Writers Diary," in homage to the civil rights activists, The Freedom Riders. The book is the basis for the 2007 film "Freedom Writers," in which Gruwell is played by Hilary Swank.As a teacher, Gruwell channeled her classroom experience toward a larger cause. She founded the Freedom Writers Foundation through which she teaches teachers around the country how to implement her innovative lesson plans into their own classrooms. She has recently published a book about these methods, "The Freedom Writers Diary Teacher's Guide," and all proceeds from the book go directly to the Freedom Writers Foundation.Gruwell and her students have appeared on several television shows including Oprah, Prime Time Live with Connie Chung, Barbara Walters' The View, and Good Morning America. They have also won dozens of awards, including the Spirit of Anne Frank Award.Gruwell is a graduate of University of California Irvine, where she was awarded the Lauds and Laurels Distinguished Alumni Award. She received her masters degree and teaching credentials from California State University Long Beach where she was honored as a distinguished alumna by the School of Education.There will be a screening of “Freedom Writers” in Valders Hall of Science Room 206 at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 13. This event is also open to the public with no charge for admission.A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs.

Live Music: Amy Andrews at Vue Rooftop

Born and raised in Baltimore Maryland, musician Amy Andrews is an award-winning vocalist, who often draws comparisons to Norah Jones and the late, great Eva Cassidy. Known firstly for stunning vocals and unassuming charm on stage, and secondly for traveling great swaths of North America to play stages while her dog hangs out in the green room, Amy has, in the last few years, gone solo and received national (US) press, while touring hundreds of thousands miles to share stages and open for artists from Gregory Alan Isakov, Stu Larsen, Rose Cousins, to Levi Lowrey and Clay Cook (of Zac Brown Band and John Mayer), and more. From Alaska Folk Festival to Florida's 30A Songwriters' Festival, with headliners like Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, Amy has played it all, and this tree-hugging, ever-traveling, modern day torch-singer and songwriter, is one you will want to hear live! 2019-01-18 23:00:00 -0600

Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods

Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. In the cosmic experience, drumming touches us at a deep level and brings all creation together as a community. Especially now, when our external and internal worlds can be so polarized, communication that bears witness to creative love is very important. Drumming—and feeling the Creator’s rhythm inside of us—resonates with a variety of people. All racial, economic, denominational and other differences can disappear when a group of people share rhythm. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place monthly, and you may attend one or all. No experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring your own drum or use one of ours. This drum circle will meet near the pond south of the Center if the weather is nice or in the Art Room during inclement weather. A free-will offering to the facilitator will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.<o:p></o:p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

From Dayton to Dover: What have we learned about evolution and Christian faith?

Almost 80 years after the famous 1925 "Scopes Monkey Trial," the teaching of evolution was once again in the courtroom in Dover, Pennsylvania. What is it about the science of evolution that makes it so difficult for many Christians to come to terms with some of its consequences? This talk places this controversy within a U.S. context, but also shows that resources are available within the Christian tradition for a healthy dialogue between science and faith, even with some of the difficult problems raised by evolution.Dr. Matthew Ashley | Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Notre DameThis event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series, Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason

'Agents of Change' Presented by Luther College BSU

In 1968, a group of students led the longest campus strike in United States history in search of equality and social justice for the African American community. Today this event is seen as a starting point for the establishment of ethnic studies and social equality. Through the stories of the young men and women who lead the battle for a more relevant and meaningful education for African American students, "Agents of Change" is a film that examines the racial conditions found on college campuses.As part of their 50-year anniversary commemoration, Luther College's Black Student Union will host a film screening of "Agents of Change" at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, in Valders Hall of Science Room 206 on the Luther campus. Both the screening and discussion to follow are open to the public with no charge for admission."Agents of Change" is co-produced and directed by Frank R. Dawson and Abby Ginzberg. It focuses on the stories of men and women who dealt with the struggles of being a black college student in the late 1960s. The characters in this film are caught in the middle of the civil rights movement, the black power movement and the anti-Vietnamese war movement.According to the African American Intellectual History Society, a scholarly organization focused on black thought and culture, "Agents of Change" is the new documentary on black student activism. This film explores the lives of people in the 1960s and draws parallels to the similarities in the lives of people today.The Luther College Black Student Union is an organization that was established in the fall of 1968 by a group of students looking for a space to celebrate their culture, accomplishments and share in their struggles. The yearlong commemoration of the 50th anniversary of this organization formally commenced during homecoming 2018 on the weekend of Oct. 26. It continues with a calendar of lectures, speakers and other events to commemorate BSU's 50th anniversary. More information about these upcoming events is available at <a href="https://www.luther.edu/alumni/events/bsu/">https://www.luther.edu/alumni/events/bsu/</a>.A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs.
