|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on May 24, 2013 The first Faculty and Staff Think Tank continued on May 21 and 22, focusing on different ways to integrate faith into the classroom and office environment. Speakers included: Ed Zinke, Carlos Fayard, Timothy Standish, Humberto Rasi, Garland Duland, Howard Weems, George Ashley, and the University's CSO ('chief spiritual officer') Leslie Pollard. In his opening remarks, President Pollard, asked: "What makes Seventh-day Adventist Education Unique?" 1) The Attitude of Urgency 2) Our Understanding of History and Reality (playing out the Great Controversy) 3) Every Man, Woman and Child has a Date with Destiny ("we're preparing our students for that destiny") Enthusiastic discussions throughout the conference reflected attendees' interest in sharing their faith in a way that enhances the spirituality of the Oakwood University community. OU Trustee Ed Zinke addressed the question "Faith, Learning and Living: What are the issues in this conversation?" The Think Tank concluded on May 23, with an all-day service learning workshop.
