SUMMARY:Debate: Are Reparations Key to Achieving Racial Reconciliation?
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centennial Institute and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as we examine the question of reparation policies in relation to racial reconciliation in the U.S. \nReparations are an issue on the horizon\, with some cities across the country considering reparations to address historical injustices such as slavery. While some believe reparations would be an act of social justice for the descendants of those who suffered as slaves\, others believe that reparations don’t make sense for a variety of reasons\, including that they would imply that Americans today with no affiliation themselves with slavery are guilty of the sins of past generations. \nThe debate will be moderated by Mikayle Scheffel\, Instructor of Communication and Head Coach of the Speech and Debate Team at Colorado Christian University. \nDebate: Are Reparations Key to Achieving Racial Reconciliation?\nMonday\, March 7\, 2022\n7:30pm – 9:00pm MT\nAnschutz Great Room\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W. Alameda Ave.\nLakewood\, CO 80226\nRegister below to attend in-person or watch online here. \nAbout the Debaters:\nJason D. Hill is a professor of philosophy and Honors Distinguished Faculty at DePaul University in Chicago. He is the author of five books\, including We Have Overcome: An Immigrant’s Letter to the American People and\, more recently: What Do White Americans Owe Black People: Racial Justice in the Age of Post-Oppression. He specializes in ethics\, politics\, foreign policy\, and moral psychology. \nMatthew Walther is editor of The Lamp\, a Catholic literary journal\, a contributing editor at The American Conservative\, and a national correspondent at The Week. His work has also appeared in First Things\, The Spectator of London\, The Catholic Herald\, National Review\, and other publications. He is currently writing a biography of the Rev. Montague Summers. He is also a Robert Novak Journalism Fellow. \n\nHosted in Partnership with:\n \n  \nOnline Form – DL – Reparations Debate \nPowered by Formstack

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Speechless: Controlling Words\, Controlling Minds with Michael Knowles
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our December Distinguished Lecture Series as we hear from Michael Knowles\, Daily Wire contributor and author of the book: Speechless: Controlling Words\, Controlling Minds. This event is hosted in partnership with the Young America’s Foundation. \nOur republic was built upon the ideas of freedom of conscience and free public discourse. However\, over the past few years\, free speech has come under attack. Political correctness\, woke opinions\, and cancel culture silence opposing viewpoints daily. How did we get to this point? And how do we fight to restore our First Amendment rights? \nMichael Knowles will examine how the control over words and ideas leads to direct control on the minds of our fellow citizens. In a time where something you post on social media creates fear of retribution and “cancellation\,” Knowles will discuss how to fight – and win – the war of ideas. \nDistinguished Lecture Series: Speechless: Controlling Words\, Controlling Minds\nMichael Knowles\nMonday\, December 6\, 2021\n7:30pm – 9:00pm MT\nAnschutz Great Room\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W. Alameda Ave\nLakewood\, CO 80226  \nWatch online here. \nIn-person attendance registration is now closed. Walk-up admission will be granted 15 minutes ahead of event start time\, dependent on seating availability. Seating will be on a first-come\, first-served basis. Overflow seating will be available in the Anschutz amphitheater with a livestream feed.  \nWe are following Jefferson County’s recent health mandate which requires masks in all indoor spaces. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. \nAbout Michael Knowles: \nMichael Knowles is the celebrated host of “The Michael Knowles Show” at the Daily Wire\, “The Book Club” at PragerU\, and “Verdict with Ted Cruz.” In 2017\, Michael published the #1 national bestselling treatise Reasons to Vote for Democrats\, which President Donald Trump hailed as “a great book for your reading enjoyment.” In late 2020\, after an appearance guest-hosting “The Rush Limbaugh Program\,” it was announced that Michael’s daily podcast would be syndicated to terrestrial radio. \nMichael has appeared regularly on Fox News Channel and other major networks\, and his writing has been featured on the Daily Wire\, the American Mind\, Fox News\, and the Daily Caller. Michael is a graduate of Yale University and has lectured on college campuses around the country. \nHosted in Partnership with: \n \n

SUMMARY:Pro-Life Rally for Dobbs Supreme Court Case
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University for a rally in support of the Right to Life prevailing in America’s highest court. \nCould 2022 be the year Roe v. Wade is reversed? \nIn 1973\, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade shook the foundation of the United States. As abortion was effectively protected throughout the U.S.\, many began the long fight to reclaim the Right to Life\, as guaranteed in America’s founding. Now\, the Supreme Court has chosen yet again to hear an abortion case: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. \nIn 2018\, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization challenged Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act\, prohibiting abortions after the fifteenth week of pregnancy except in the cases of a medical emergency. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for Dobbs on December 1\, 2021. If decided in favor of Dobbs\, this would give states the authority to limit abortions\, effectively protecting Mississippi’s legislation and encouraging other states to implement similar policies. \nJoin with faith leaders and pro-life leaders as we rally and pray for this historic case! Now is the time to relegate Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history. \nPro-Life Rally for Dobbs Supreme Court Case\nMonday\, November 29\, 2021\n7:300pm – 9:00pm MT\nAnschutz Great Room\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Christianity and Wokeness
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Owen Strachan\, author of Christianity and Wokeness: How the Social Justice Movement is Hijacking the Gospel – and the Way to Stop It\, for our November Distinguished Lecture Series. \nThe “wokeness” that emerged from the social unrest of 2020 has swept through schools\, businesses\, and even sports. Driven by the radical ideologies of Critical Race Theory and intersectionality\, it has destabilized public and private life—including the Church. \nMany evangelicals have joined the crusade. Gripped by a desire for justice and rightly grieved by past evils like slavery\, many pastors are preaching the woke gospel—identifying “whiteness” (an imaginary concept) with “white supremacy\,” calling bewildered Christians to repent of their supposed guilt for the sins of past generations. \nDr. Owen Strachan will discuss how this is not true justice\, nor is it true Christianity. While wokeness employs biblical vocabulary and concepts\, it is an alternative religion\, far from Christianity in both its methods and its fruit. A potent blend of racism\, paganism\, and grievance\, wokeness encourages “partiality” and undermines the unifying work of the Holy Spirit. However\, there is an antidote to this growing threat facing the church: the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. \nDistinguished Lecture Series: Christianity and Wokeness\nDr. Owen Strachan\nMonday\, November 15\, 2021\n7:30pm – 9:00pm MT\nAnschutz Great Room\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W.

He is a Senior Fellow with Family Research Council and the author of numerous books\, including Reenchanting Humanity\, The Pastor as Public Theologian (with Kevin Vanhoozer)\, and Always in God’s Hands: Day by Day in the Company of Jonathan Edwards. Married to Bethany\, he is the father of three children and enjoys rowing\, Western films\, outlaw country\, and Churchill books. \nOnline Form – DL – Jack Posobiec – 10.18.21 – COPY \nPowered by Formstack

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc
DESCRIPTION:For our October Distinguished Lecture Series\, Jack Posobiec will be discussing his new book The Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc. \nFew in the media have followed Antifa more closely – and have the scars to prove it – than journalist Jack Posobiec. \nFrom infiltrating their 2016 meetings where they planned their attack on Trump’s inauguration to going undercover in Seattle’s CHAZ in 2020\, Posobiec has never backed down from exposing the true nature of Antifa. \nPosobiec will discuss the secret history of this radical anarchist group while integrating his personal encounters with some of its most hardcore and violent members. While few Americans were aware of Antifa’s existence until recently\, it is actually part of a violent revolutionary tradition that dates back more than a hundred years. And\, like its predecessors\, it is driven by an overriding aim: the overthrow of the existing political order and capitalism\, and replacing it with a communist state. \nAntifa saw and seized its chance in 2020. Because it was not brought to heel – indeed\, was encouraged in its violent mayhem by sympathetic city and state governments – it now looms as a greater threat than ever before. \nDistinguished Lecture Series: The Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc\nJack Posobiec\nMonday\, October 18\, 2021\n7:00pm – 8:30pm MT\nAnschutz Great Room\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W. Alameda Ave.\nLakewood\, CO 80226\nRegister below to attend in-person or watch online here. \nAbout Jack Posobiec: \nJack Posobiec is the Senior Editor of Human Events\, a political news and analysis outlet founded in 1944. Prior to that\, Posobiec served as a Washington\, D.C. correspondent at One America News Network. Posobiec is a veteran intelligence officer of the United States Navy with multiple deployments\, including Guantanamo Bay and East Asia. At Guantanamo Bay\, Posobiec served as a HUMINT (human intelligence) analyst in the interrogation cell. In 2014\, he joined the Office of Naval Intelligence as an officer at the Kennedy Irregular Warfare Center which provided intelligence to Navy Special Warfare and Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. \nPosobiec completed his final deployment in 2016 as the Intelligence Director for Navy Expeditionary Forces Command Pacific – Task Force 75. Task Force 75 provides expeditionary intelligence throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region as directed by 7th Fleet Commander. \nPosobiec has written three non-fiction books: Citizens for Trump: The Inside Story of the People’s Movement to Take Back America; 4D Warfare: A Doctrine for a New Generation of Politics; and Antifa: Inside the Black Bloc. In 2019\, Posobiec was awarded a Lincoln Fellowship by the Claremont Institute. Posobiec is also a supporter of Let Them Live\, a nonprofit that saves lives from abortion by supporting women in crisis pregnancies.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America's Highest Court
DESCRIPTION:Ilya Shapiro\, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute\, will lecture on his latest book\, Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America’s Highest Court. \nPolitics have always intruded on Supreme Court appointments. But although the Framers would recognize the way justices are nominated and confirmed today\, something is different. Why have appointments to the high court become one of the most explosive features of our system of government? \nAs Ilya Shapiro makes clear in Supreme Disorder\, this problem is part of a larger phenomenon. As government has grown\, its laws reaching even further into our lives\, the courts that interpret those laws have become enormously powerful. If we fight over each new appointment as though everything were at stake\, it’s because it is. \nWhen decades of constitutional corruption have left us subject to an all-powerful tribunal\, passions are sure to flare on the infrequent occasions when the political system has an opportunity to shape it. And so we find the process of judicial appointments verging on dysfunction. \nShapiro weighs the many proposals for reform\, from the modest (term limits) to the radical (court-packing)\, but shows that there can be no quick fix for a judicial system suffering a crisis of legitimacy. And in the end\, the only measure of the Court’s legitimacy that matters is the extent to which it maintains\, or rebalances\, our constitutional order. \nMonday\, April 19\, 2021\n7:00 pm MT – 8:30 pm MT\nWatch here: http://youtube.com/centennialinstitute \n[fusion_title title_type=”text” rotation_effect=”bounceIn” display_time=”1200″ highlight_effect=”circle” loop_animation=”off” highlight_width=”9″ highlight_top_margin=”0″ before_text=”” rotation_text=”” highlight_text=”” after_text=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility\,medium-visibility\,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal\,sticky” class=”” id=”” content_align_medium=”” content_align_small=”” content_align=”left” size=”1″ font_size=”” animated_font_size=”” fusion_font_family_title_font=”” fusion_font_variant_title_font=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” text_shadow=”no” text_shadow_vertical=”” text_shadow_horizontal=”” text_shadow_blur=”0″ text_shadow_color=”” margin_top_medium=”” margin_bottom_medium=”” margin_top_small=”” margin_bottom_small=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” margin_top_mobile=”” margin_bottom_mobile=”” text_color=”” animated_text_color=”” highlight_color=”” style_type=”default” sep_color=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””] \nAbout Ilya Shapiro \n[/fusion_title] \nIlya Shapiro is the director of the Robert A.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America's Highest Court
DESCRIPTION:Ilya Shapiro\, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute\, will lecture on his latest book\, Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America’s Highest Court. \nPolitics have always intruded on Supreme Court appointments. But although the Framers would recognize the way justices are nominated and confirmed today\, something is different. Why have appointments to the high court become one of the most explosive features of our system of government? \nAs Ilya Shapiro makes clear in Supreme Disorder\, this problem is part of a larger phenomenon. As government has grown\, its laws reaching even further into our lives\, the courts that interpret those laws have become enormously powerful. If we fight over each new appointment as though everything were at stake\, it’s because it is. \nWhen decades of constitutional corruption have left us subject to an all-powerful tribunal\, passions are sure to flare on the infrequent occasions when the political system has an opportunity to shape it. And so we find the process of judicial appointments verging on dysfunction. \nShapiro weighs the many proposals for reform\, from the modest (term limits) to the radical (court-packing)\, but shows that there can be no quick fix for a judicial system suffering a crisis of legitimacy. And in the end\, the only measure of the Court’s legitimacy that matters is the extent to which it maintains\, or rebalances\, our constitutional order. \nMonday\, April 19\, 2021\n7:00 pm MT – 8:30 pm MT\nWatch here: http://youtube.com/centennialinstitute \n[fusion_title title_type=”text” rotation_effect=”bounceIn” display_time=”1200″ highlight_effect=”circle” loop_animation=”off” highlight_width=”9″ highlight_top_margin=”0″ before_text=”” rotation_text=”” highlight_text=”” after_text=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility\,medium-visibility\,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal\,sticky” class=”” id=”” content_align_medium=”” content_align_small=”” content_align=”left” size=”1″ font_size=”” animated_font_size=”” fusion_font_family_title_font=”” fusion_font_variant_title_font=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” text_shadow=”no” text_shadow_vertical=”” text_shadow_horizontal=”” text_shadow_blur=”0″ text_shadow_color=”” margin_top_medium=”” margin_bottom_medium=”” margin_top_small=”” margin_bottom_small=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” margin_top_mobile=”” margin_bottom_mobile=”” text_color=”” animated_text_color=”” highlight_color=”” style_type=”default” sep_color=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””] \nAbout Ilya Shapiro \n[/fusion_title] \nIlya Shapiro is the director of the Robert A.
