There's
Still Time to Gain Wisdom
The leaders of more
than two dozen institutions of higher learning are currently on
campus for In Search of Wisdom: Liberal Education for a Changing
World, a conference that began April 4 and will continue through
April 6. There are three remaining conference events that are
open to the public. On Friday, at 4:15 pm in Abbey Memorial Chapel,
there will be a multifaith celebration of wisdom with songs, rituals,
readings, chanting, drumming, poems, and prayers led by members
of the Baha'i, Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim,
Protestant, Unitarian Universalist, and Wiccan/Pagan communities
at MHC.
"Listening
to Communities: A Conversation among Community Leaders,"
a dialogue set for Friday, April 5, at 7 pm, in Gamble Auditorium,
will feature the Rev. Dr. Otis Moss Jr., pastor of Olivet Institutional
Baptist Church, and Judith Kurland of Women Waging Peace, a multiyear
collaborative venture of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy
School of Government. On Saturday, April 6, from 10:45 am to noon,
there will be a discussion panel in the Willits-Hallowell Center's
Morrison Room. The panel is titled “Reflections on Liberal
Education for a World Lived in Common with Others.”
