I was just informed of the following event tomorrow night at William Jewell College for those who live in the Kansas City area. I expect to be there.
Journeys of Mind & Faith features Dr. Michael Cook
Contact: Rob Eisele, 816-415-7574
March 5, 2007Dr. Michael Cook, Boatwright Professor of Economics in the Department of Business Administration, Economics and Computer Science at William Jewell College, will present a free lecture entitled “Faith and Economics” in William Jewell’s “Journeys of Mind and Faith” series at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, in Room 222 in the Yates-Gill College Union on the campus in Liberty, Mo. The public is invited to attend, and no tickets or reservations are required
Dr. Cook received his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Chicago, and his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. He joined the William Jewell faculty in 1978.
The “Journeys of Mind and Faith” series addresses the tension often inherent in addressing questions of faith and of intellect.
“As a Christian liberal arts college, William Jewell has at its disposal the uncommonly conjoined resources of intellectual inquiry and faith,” says series coordinator Dr. Milton Horne. “This series takes advantage of those resources to present to the community the stories of individuals whose Christian and intellectual journeys, while not yet complete, have been rewarding and worthwhile.”
