LYDEN TO GIVE LUTHERAN COLLEGE PRESENTATION, OCT. 1

Encore performance is part of Dana Homecoming

"How We’ve Changed and How We Haven’t: A Faculty Perspective," is the topic of a one-hour special program at Dana College on Friday, Oct. 1.

The 4 p.m. program will be at The Forum in the Margre Henningson Durham Center. Dr. John Lynden, professor of religion at Dana College, will given an encore presentation of a speech as part of Viking Homecoming activities. It touches on changes in both the students and faculty, plus the mission of Dana College as a Lutheran School.

The program was originally presented to the presidents of the Lutheran Colleges in February 2004. It is a reflection of the values of church-related higher education. The presentation focuses on the challenges of church-related education today.

"It also reflects my view of its continued relevance to students and society as a whole," Lyden said.

Lyden joined the staff at Dana in 1991 and is the editor of "Enduring Issues in Religion," the text he uses in his introductory religion class.
The presentation is free and open to the public.
