SUMMARY:The Sin of Racism and America's Promise of Equality\, Part 2 - Solutions
DESCRIPTION:  \nFollowing an extremely popular and well-received discussion on the sin of racism and America’s promise of equality\, the same panel is back to discuss solutions further. In the weeks since the first discussion\, congress\, states\, and municipalities have introduced legislation to reform policing. What’s right and what’s wrong with this approach? Leftist organizations are seeking to go further in defunding the police\, tearing down statues\, requiring reparations\, and even creating autonomous zones. How does America address the challenges of bad policing and racism without dividing the nation? What are other solutions to improving access to the American dream for black Americans? \nJoin the Centennial Institute\, Antonia Okafor Cover\, CJ Pearson\, Dr. Biff Gore\, and Casper Stockham to explore these issues and more. \nThursday\, June 25\, 2020 \n2:00 pm – 3:00 pm MT

SUMMARY:The Sin of Racism and America’s Promise of Equality
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Christian University mourns the tragic death and unjust killing of George Floyd. Sadly\, this is not an isolated incident and points to a deeper racism that festers in our land. At the same time\, we also condemn those who seek to exploit the tragedy of this situation by looting\, torching vehicles\, burning buildings\, defacing national monuments and destroying hundreds of businesses. The number of people killed as a result of violent protest represents a disturbing breakdown in the rule of law and cannot be excused as a just response to this incident.\nHow do we seek justice for the black community? How do we improve policing in America? How do we protect our cities and local communities from violent riots? How does America live up to its claims of one Nation under God\, indivisible\, with liberty and justice for all? \nJoin the Centennial Institute and community leaders Antonia Okafor Cover\, CJ Pearson\, Dr. Biff Gore\, and Casper Stockham for a Zoom discussion on these issues. \nThe Sin of Racism and America’s Promise of Equality\nThursday\, June 11\, 2020\n1:00 pm MT \nWatch here: https://www.youtube.com/CentennialInstitute/

SUMMARY:Michael Barone on American Politics 2020
DESCRIPTION:Michael Barone will discuss his latest book\, How America’s Political Parties Change (and How They Don’t). The election of 2016 prompted journalists and political scientists to write obituaries for the Republican Party—or prophecies of a new dominance. But it was all rather familiar. Whenever one of our two great parties has a setback\, we’ve heard: “This is the end of the Democratic Party\,” or\, “The Republican Party is going out of existence.” Yet both survive\, and thrive. \nWe have the oldest and third oldest political parties in the world—the Democratic Party founded in 1832 to reelect Andrew Jackson\, the Republican Party founded in 1854 to oppose slavery in the territories. They are older than almost every American business\, most American colleges\, and many American churches. Both have seemed to face extinction in the past\, and have rebounded to be competitive again. How have they managed it? \nMichael Barone\, longtime co-author of The Almanac of American Politics\, brings a deep understanding of our electoral history to the question and finds a compelling answer. He illuminates how both parties have adapted\, swiftly or haltingly\, to shifting opinion and emerging issues\, to economic change and cultural currents\, to demographic flux. At the same time\, each has maintained a constant character. The Republican Party appeals to “typical Americans” as understood at a given time\, and the Democratic Party represents a coalition of “out-groups.” They are the yin and yang of American political life\, together providing vehicles for expressing most citizens’ views in a nation that has always been culturally\, religiously\, economically\, and ethnically diverse. \nThe election that put Donald Trump in the White House may have appeared to signal a dramatic realignment\, but in fact it involved less change in political allegiances than many before\, and it does not portend doom for either party. How America’s Political Parties Change (and How They Don’t) astutely explains why these two oft-scorned institutions have been so resilient. \nMonday\, April 20\, 2020\n5:00 pm – 6:30 pm MT\nOn YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CentennialInstitute/ \n \nAbout Michael Barone \nMichael Barone is an American conservative political analyst\, historian\, pundit and journalist. He is known for being the principal author of The Almanac of American Politics\, a highly detailed reference work on Congress and state politics; it has been published biennially by National Journal since 1972. The Almanac has been called “definitive and essential for anyone writing seriously about campaigns and Congress.” Barone is also a regular commentator on United States elections and political trends for the Fox News Channel. In April 2009\, Barone joined the Washington Examiner\, leaving his position of 18 years at U.S. News & World Report. He is based at the American Enterprise Institute as a resident fellow. He has written numerous books and essays on American political and demographic history.

SUMMARY:The Witness of the Church and the Technology of God
DESCRIPTION:Tertullian once asked\, “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” Today we might ask the same question of Silicon Valley. Many in the Church view technological innovation at best as a secular matter\, or at worst as a threat to family and congregational life. But in a broader view\, the spread of the Gospel has always ridden the tides of technological change. What might a theology of technology look like?

Along the way\, he also served in youth ministry\, prison chaplaincy\, and graduate and faculty ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. \nTim’s desire to thoughtfully engage the public square and to find creative ways of sharing the gospel in the new media marketplace found expression after Harvard in his work with the multi-religious website Patheos (2008–2014). First\, he was managing editor of Patheos’s evangelical channel\, then director of content and vice-president of business development. \nIn 2013 Dalrymple founded Polymath\, a creative agency that helps clients with branding\, design\, web\, video\, marketing and communications\, and content development.

SUMMARY:In Search of Ancient Roots
DESCRIPTION:Protestant evangelicalism is in crisis. Today it is increasingly difficult for Protestants to identify what counts as distinctively Protestant\, much less what counts as evangelical. As evangelicals increasingly lose contact with the churches and traditions descending from the Reformation\, and as relations with Roman Catholicism continue to thaw\, it becomes harder to explain why one should remain committed to the Reformation in the face of perceived deficits and theological challenges with the Protestant tradition. A common complaint about Protestant evangelicalism is its apparent disconnect from ancient Christianity. The antiquity and catholicity of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy seem to outshine the relative novelty of the Reformation. Some evangelical churches appear to be uninterested in the ancient historical roots of their faith as well as being liturgically and doctrinally unstable. Many within evangelicalism seem to have accepted at face value the suggestion that the evangelical faith is no more than a threadbare descendant of ancient Christianity. The result is that a number of younger Protestants in recent years have abandoned evangelicalism\, turning instead to practices and traditions that appear more rooted in the early church. In Search of Ancient Roots examines this phenomenon and places it within a wider historical context. Ken Stewart argues that the evangelical tradition in fact has a much healthier track record of interacting with Christian antiquity than it is usually given credit for. He surveys five centuries of Protestant engagement with the ancient church. \nMonday\, November 18\, 2019\n7:00pm – 8:30pm MT\nColorado Christian University\nAnschutz Student Center Great Room\n8787 W. Alameda Ave. Lakewood\, CO 80226 \nAbout Dr. Ken Stewart \nDr. Ken Stewart is a specialist in the history of Christianity from the Reformation to the present with special interest in the development of the evangelical Protestant tradition. He has a growing interest in early Christianity and the transmission of doctrine from the early church forward to our time. He also teaches early modern European history and the two-semester Christian Doctrine sequence required for sophomores. Dr. Stewart has been a Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College\, and on their faculty since 1997. \nOnline Form – DL – K. Stewart – 11.18.19 \nPowered by Formstack

SUMMARY:Crucible of Faith
DESCRIPTION:One of America’s foremost scholars of religion examines the tumultuous era that gave birth to the modern Judeo-Christian tradition. In Crucible of Faith\, Philip Jenkins argues that much of the Judeo-Christian tradition we know today was born between 250-50 BCE\, during a turbulent “Crucible Era.” It was during these years that Judaism grappled with Hellenizing forces and produced new religious ideas that reflected and responded to their changing world. By the time of the fall of the Temple in 70 CE\, concepts that might once have seemed bizarre became normalized-and thus passed on to Christianity and later Islam. Drawing widely on contemporary sources from outside the canonical Old and New Testaments\, Jenkins reveals an era of political violence and social upheaval that ultimately gave birth to entirely new ideas about religion\, the afterlife\, Creation and the Fall\, and the nature of God and Satan. \nMonday\, October 14\, 2019\n7:00pm – 8:30pm MT\nColorado Christian University\nAnschutz Student Center Great Room\n8787 W. Alameda Ave.\, Lakewood\, CO 80226 \n \n  \nAbout Dr. Philip Jenkins\nPhilip Jenkins is a Distinguished Professor of History at Baylor University. His many books include The Next Christendom (2002) and The Lost History of Christianity (2008). His most recent title is Crucible of Faith: The Ancient Revolution That Made Our Modern Religious World (Basic Books\, 2017). \nOnline Form – DL – P. Jenkins – 10.14.19 \nPowered by Formstack
