Arts and Events Calendar

The Academic Culture Assembly (ACA), a division of Undergraduate Student Government's Program Board, presents the second event from its new Innovation Series. This new line of programs will introduce the most remarkable new thoughts, ideas and actions of our day.

On October 30, the Innovation Series' community forum looks at Christian culture and its relationship with America's broader culture and society.

With the rising conflicts in belief between post-modern and traditional Christian churches, how can we understand the differences? How do these differences integrate with the Christian subculture in America? What is the notion of religious parallelism, and how does that influence a post-modernist view of Christianity? What does traditional Christianity stand for, and how does it cultivate a Christian worldview applicable to the modern world?

Joining us to address these questions are Rev. Jim Burklo, associate dean of Religious Life, and Rev. Dr. Ken Fong, senior pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church of Los Angeles. Burklo will support a post-modernist view; to understand more on his views, visit his Web site, www.openchristianity.com. Fong will support a traditionalist view; to understand more on his views, visit his profile at www.ebcla.org/getBio.php?userID=5.

Come to a friendly dialogue on these issues. We hope to see you there. The event will include free catered food from Mama's Hot Tamales Café.
