ABOUT THE LECTURE

Dr. Roger Gench will explore the connection between the Buddhist notion of mindfulness and Christian theology and spirituality of the cross. He will articulate a foundation for the Christian life in which activism and spirituality are integrally related, part of the same footprint, rather than disconnected or addenda to each other.

This event is FREE and open to the public. It will be presented on the Richmond campus and livestreamed as well.

 

FORMAT AND OTHER DETAILS

There is not a cost for this event, but we are asking attendees to register and select whether attending in-person or via livestreaming.

Registration will close at 2 p.m. EST on the day of the event (March 1).

 

ABOUT THE DAWE LECTURES

The Dawe Lecture series is funded through The Donald and Nancy Dawe Fund for Emotional and Ethical Growth. The Fund was established thanks to a generous gift from Dr. Coleman Longan honoring Donald and Nancy Dawe. Dr. Dawe was professor emeritus of Union Presbyterian Seminary until his death in 2012.

The lecture series, which is held annually at Union Presbyterian Seminary, pays tribute to Dr. and Mrs. Dawe and promotes ethical and religious understanding. Because of Professor Dawe's long-standing interest and commitments in the area of multi-religious and multi-cultural understanding and interfaith dialogue, this lecture series seeks to contribute a deepened awareness and insight in these areas of intellectual and especially practical religious concern.
