Organized through the Office of the College Chaplains by Ayvazian and Lyla Brown '97, this series of three meetings provides an opportunity for discussion of progressive social change from a theological perspective.
Participants gather for a simple lunch and presentations by guest speakers.
On March 11, the Reverend Dr. Peter Ives will discuss how the Bible has been used and misused to justify the exclusion of gay people from religious life. Brown, a critical social thought major, comes from a family active in advocating social change and has a deep interest in religious justification for political action. The college atmosphere is terrific for generating ideas, but few take action. Frances Crowe, this month's speaker, is a Quaker and a long-time local activist for peace and social justice. She spoke about the religious underpinnings of her principles and experiences.
