ACES: The Further Invention of Nonviolence
October 09, 2008 at 07:00 PM
Estelle Siebens Science Center 126
Kathy Kelly, a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, lived in Iraq, as part of the Iraq Peace Team, during the 2003 US attack and invasion. She and her companions had traveled to Iraq numerous times, from 1996 to 2003, to challenge the UN/Us economic sanctions against Iraq. Since 2004, she and other Voices activists have spent many months living amongst Iraqis who have fled to neighboring countries to escape violence and ethnic cleansing. Relying on eyewitness experiences, she will talk about what security means for Iraqis who lack adequate food, clean water, health care and shelter. She'll also discuss security measures that people in the U.S. can take in order to cope with the energy challenges we face, emphasizing the potential U.S. people have to significantly change their patterns of energy usage.

ACES/2008 Tollefson Lecture: Listen to the Music - Popular Music and Christian Identity
October 27, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Siebens Forum Hanson 8
Popular music, both Christian and secular, communicates powerful religious messages and feelings. People inside and outside of church are listening and learning. Why would a minister or congregation in the Reformed tradition want to listen to the diverse forms of music that are shaping the spiritual life of members, visitors, and outsiders? How might this be done? Toward what ends?
Dr. McClure will also be involved in a classroom visit (to be determined), a noon luncheon in the Patio Room with students, along with an evening meal in Forum Rm 6 with the Tollefson family and their guests @ 5:30 P.M. A reception/Tea will follow at 8 p.m. in Forum Rm. 6

Music Row in Nashville is one of the key business, production, and recording hubs for the popular secular music industry, including not just country music, but folk, bluegrass, hip hop, blues, new age, rock, and rhythm and blues. It is also where most Contemporary Christian and Praise and Worship songs are written, produced and recorded. If the great Protestant Reformer, John Calvin, were to walk in and out of these businesses, songwriting sessions, and recording studios what might he have to say?

On April 12th, 1988 Dennis Fritz was found guilty and sentanced to life in prision for the rape and murder of a waitress on Dec 8th, 1982. Fritz's friend Ron Williamson was also charged and was put on death row.

After 10 years he found and contacted The Innocence Project and in 1999 DNA testing revealed that neither Williamson or Fritz had raped or murdered the victim.
Now, author of Journey towards Justice, Fritz goes through how one man's faith and resolve helped to transform his life.
