On Monday, February 18th, in Trinity Hall (Rushford Commons) from 4PM- 10PM, we have invited professional stylists and barbers to campus.  They will be providing services at half price for our community. All are welcomed to use their services. This is a great opportunity to learn firsthand from professional hair stylists, a little bit about African American hair and its uniqueness. There is a lot of cultural identity that African Americans align with hair.  Come and partake in great and entertaining conversation.

The first in the series is visiting author Chris Heuertz this Tuesday, February 19, from 12-1:00 in the Rodine Cafe. He will be talking about his book Unexpected Gifts: Discovering the Way of Community (Howard Books, 2013) which offers insight on how the soul is shaped through fidelity in difficult relationships.  This is a practical help to anyone heading for ministry!  

"It's not gay couples that are destroying marriage—it's the fault of heterosexual divorce rate."

"Marriage should not be controlled by the state."

"What's the problem with two committed, monogamous people vowing to marry?"

"Two gay people getting married doesn't affect you."

"Christians are more passionate against gay marriage than they are passionate for Jesus."

How should Christians respond to these common arguments for gay marriage? Dr. Bob Moeller, marriage counselor, author, and speaker (and TEDS alum) will address these issues and many more on Tuesday, February 19, at 6:30 p.m. in the Lantern Lounge.

CHAPEL CREDIT AVAILABLE.

The Henry Center sponsors the Scripture & Ministry lectures, which feature distinguished Christian speakers addressing issues of crucial importance for relating Scripture and ministry. This series brings together Trinity Evangelical Divinity School faculty members, pastors and community members for a time of learning and fellowship. The relationship between theologians and practitioners calls for earnest efforts to bridge the gap that all too often divides them and to encourage mutually enriching collaboration in the gospel.

All 2011-2012 lectures will be held at 1pm (in the ATO chapel on the TEDS campus).  They are free and open to everyone.

“Christ Between the Thieves: The Theological and Pastoral Challenge of Contemporary Christian Universalism”

In 2011, Time magazine ran a cover story ‘What If There is No Hell?’ that centered on Rob Bell’s Love Wins. Bell’s book highlighted a major trend that is affecting Evangelical, Nondenominational, and Charismatic Churches in the USA and indeed around the world—viz., a growing acceptance of universalism (i.e., universal salvation) as an increasingly acceptable ‘evangelical’ option in belief. Where did this trend come from? How and why has it taken hold at the present time? McClymond’s talk will show that universalism has ancient origins in 2nd century Gnosticism, and modern roots in a 17th-18th century revival of Gnosticism. Just as importantly, universalism raises fundamental theological questions regarding the nature of God, human free will, the gravity of sin, and the significance of Christ’s suffering. An appropriate Christian pastoral response to universalism ought not remain content with citing the relevant scriptures and reaffirming a doctrine of eternal punishment. It must go further and include a deeper reflection on the meaning of Christ’s cross and the difference between a church that preaches and practices ‘costly grace’ and one that preaches and practices ‘cheap grace.’

Dr. Michael McClymond from Saint Louis University will be a speaker for the Henry Center in our Scripture & Ministry Series. The dates for his visit are 1:00 p.m. on February 20 (Scripture & Ministry lecture), and 11:00 a.m. on Feb 21, 2013 (TEDS chapel).

Come join the Jonathan Edwards Center to hear Michael McClymond (professor of modern theology, St. Louis University) speak on "Between Rome, Geneva, Moscow, and the Azusa Street Mission: Jonathan Edwards and the Future of Global Christianity" on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 1 p.m. in Hinkson Hall.

On Thursday, February 21, 2013 in Hinkson Hall (Rodine) at 9:30PM, the Multicultural Department will highlight urban styles and “swag,” interspersed with a showcase of talent from poetry and drama to rap and drill with a Chicagoland Step Team.  Come out, dressed to impress and be blown away in high definition!

On Friday, February 22, part of the Mansion parking lot will be blocked off to accommodate guests attending the undergraduate Sneak Preview event.
