Calendar

Don't forget to watch the calendar for progressive events!

For example, tonight (May 1st) Dr. Martin Marty will be speaking at Central Lutheran in Minneapolis.

Keynote speaker for this year's event will be Dr. Martin Marty. "Marty" is one of the most prominent interpreters of religion and culture today. He is the Fairfax M. Cone Distinquished Service Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School, where he taught for 35 years.

The title of his talk will be "WHAT IS IT ABOUT RELIGIONS ... That they can be 'killers that heal' and/or 'healers that kill?" Dr. Marty has been pondering this question in light of current events around the world. While today Christians think only Muslims kill, and that they don't heal, they forget that we Christians too have killed --but have also been great healers.
