Fall 2004 Conferences

Baptist Philosophy Conference
Friday - Sunday October 8 - 10

The DBU philosophy department will be hosting the Baptist Association of
Philosophy Teachers (BAPT) annual philosophy conference on our campus, October
8-10. Philosophers from around the country will be converging on campus and
presenting papers on various topics these three days which will make for a heady,
stimulating weekend. The keynote speaker is Dr. Linda Zabzebski from the
University of Oklahoma. If you are interested in attending, contact Dr. Naugle for
more information!

This fall, the DBU Worship Formation Program will continue its work through a gracious grant from the Calvin College Institute of Christian Worship. We have received $2500.00 to sponsor an in-depth study of Dr. Robert Webber’s significant book Ancient-Future Faith (Baker 1999) in a series of evening meetings during September and November (be watching for specific dates and times). This study will conclude with an overnight retreat November 5-6 at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Encampment, featuring none other than Dr. Robert Webber himself as our keynote speaker (he will also be speaking in chapel and at the Friday Symposium on Nov. 5). Mark this weekend on your calendar now. The cost is free!

Also, the DBU Worship Formation Program will be responsible for a couple of
chapel services this fall, including four liturgically oriented Advent Services
in preparation for Christmas. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more
about God and how the church has worshipped historically!
