Greetings, Highland Parkers! It was great to see so many of you at our free screening of Blood Brother. Once again, we've got a number of terrific and free events at the Seminary (616 N Highland Ave) coming up this week for our annual Alum Days - and I wanted to send word. Follow the embedded links for more info. *Science and Religion *- Dr Deb Haarsma, astrophysicist and president of Biologos, will be presenting 3 lectures on Friday, May 2, offering an alternative to the usual science-religion polemics. She's a terrific presenter and her presentations promise to be very compelling; http://www.pts.edu/Henderson_2014 *Congregational Conflict *- On Thursday, May 1, Dr Andrew Park will present two lectures on the Korean notion of shame ("han") and its destructive power in denominational dynamics... as well as a hopeful path through the pain. For those of you interested in the current conflicts in the Anglican/Episcopal, PC(USA), and UMC churces, this might provide new insight. http://www.pts.edu/AD_2014 And finally,* a free concert *with ancient music and instruments from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece! Join us on the evening of May 1 for a one of a kind musical event - Philip and Gayle Neuman of Ensemble de Organographia will fascinate with music from 4000 years ago on replica instruments. http://www.pts.edu/Archaeology-Lectures Questions?
