Liberty, Security, and Dissent: CACE Spring Conference Trialogue Workshops 2003
Wheaton College ^

Posted on 03/16/2003 12:57:42 PM PST by HiTech RedNeck

 
 

Wheaton faculty plan this conference for their students and for the local community. The topic is timely, for tension between liberty and security frames current events. Yet the topic is enduring, for we struggle to balance liberty and security in all life's experiences. At times, indeed, this struggle involves dissent. Attend as many sessions as you wish and be ready to think deeply and practically about living Christianly in today's world.

Kenneth Chase, Ph.D.
CACE Director

All sessions (except Thursday evening) are free and open to the public. No registration is required. Campus building directions may be obtained at the reception desk in the Student Services Building on Chase Street. Click here for directions to Wheaton College.

Looking at the agenda for this debate, or "debate," I don't see a real big conservative presence pop out at me, but they do have people from real looie-liberal causes like the "Electronic Intifada." And what does Madame Butterfly have to do with all of this? And why is this happening at Wheaton College in the Billy Graham center for heaven's sake??
