People from BIOLA are trying something very new in terms of building Christian communities and engaging in cultural dialogue.

We are attempting to change how Christians gather and learn together. Contemporary methods usually amount to a lecture with some questions and answers (if there’s time) afterward. At Speaker’s Corner, we will provide a forum for people to critically engage each other as well as the presenters in order to foster fruitful dialogue and deep thinking. Having the presentations happen simultaneously will mean smaller audience’s for each presenter, which means a cozier, more intimate learning environment as well as greater flexibility for those who get engrossed in one topic.

ARGH! Live … too … far … away! Can’t …. GO!

I am very, very sorry that I’m not in the area. I would so be there. The only bummer is that if they’re doing this on Wednesday nights, good Orthodox folks won’t attend throughout Lent because the Pre-sanctified Service takes priority.
