Fall quarter programs
This year's Monday night dinners were inaugurated on September 26, taking advantage of the newly renovated backyard for gathering. It was a chilly but beautiful night for good food and good company. Classes began the next day. The following Monday, alumna and former Board President Lee Hull Moses preached for the opening chapel service on "Tears and Laughter." She is Vice President and Chief of Staff in the Office of the General Minister and President of Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Brie Loskota, Executive Director of the Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion at the Divinity School, spoke on October 10. She studies how religious groups change and make change in the world, and the evolving landscape of religious communities across the US. Her lively talk imaged the Marty Center - and by extension DDH? - as a "seat" which can hold together and unite the myriad "legs" of academic research and higher education, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and public service. She challenged us to ask who benefits from our work? To whom are we accountable? See the full quarter's calendar of events.
