Cultural Events CalendarFaculty and Staff Development WorkshopsCultural Complexities: Great Faith, Great Doubt and Great DeterminationWednesday May 21, 9am-12pm, Spoelhof 322 What do we do with the disconnect between head knowledge and action? How can we, at an intellectual level, know so much about racism, while at the same time unintentionally perpetuate racist behaviors? Sometimes the answers come through muddying through what is. Mary Beth Van Till will explore how Great Faith, Great Doubt and Great Determination are necessary components to exploring the muck and the mire of our racial complexities. Integrating a Strengths Based Approach to Pedagogical Practices and Student Learning Thursday May 22, 9am-4pm, Spoelhof 322 Reverend Estaban Lugo will facilitate this workshop for faculty and staff. The intended mission of this training is to gather the nations, build peace in the communities we live in, become disciples and make disciples, and be one body united by one Spirit serving one Lord. God’s vision is for a church of all nations. The church is therefore called to diversity. This training will work toward a reconciled diversity, to move from principle to action, from head to heart to hands so that all might experience comfort in a multicultural society.
