Conversations with Dr. Fred
Danker
Five Thursdays
April 3, 10, 17, 24 and May 1
9:00am
Dr. Fred Danker is a retired seminary teacher and one of the
world's preeminent New Testament scholars who singlehandedly revised the
standard lexicon of the Greek New Testament. In the class Dr. Danker
applies his mastery of Greek literature to the big questions about faith
such as, "Who is God?", " How does God operate?", "How did the
Mediterranean world of the New Testament understand God?", and "How do
we translate that into today's world?". A required text for the course
which may be purchased at the class for $40.00 is "Benefactor: Epgraphic
Study of a Graeco-Roman and New Testament Semantic Field." This book is
a readable and comprehensible study of the Greek origin of some of the
key words in Christian theology. Sessions dismiss at 11:30am. Tuition is
$68.00.

Internet Evangelism Day
On (or near) April 27
Times vary
An annual 'web evangelism awareness day', to help
Christians understand the potential of the Web for outreach. Churches
(and other groups) can build a program, from one minute to 50, using the
free downloads from the Internet Evangelism Day site: PowerPoint, video
clips, music, drama scripts and handouts.
Complacency of Silence: Darfur is an original play about the
humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Described by many as a
genocide, more than 400,000 men, women and children have been killed and
over 2 1/2 million people displaced. The play puts a human face on
the victims of this province and challenges our complacency. The
playwright, Lee Patton Chiles, developed the play based on interviews
with Darfur refugees, aid workers and experts on the crisis.
