John Lennon may have imagined that a world without nations, heaven, hell, possessions, and religion would be a world of peace. While many of us resonate with his longing for world peace, the majority of the global population cannot imagine peace without religion and spiritual practice. Lawrence University has made a commitment to recognize, support and nurture individual and collective spiritual practice and religious life as a part of our holistic education. This lecture/dialogue invites participants to discuss ways to utilize our diverse commitments and spiritual practices to imagine more than a world without this essential component of many cultures and communities.
The Cultural Competency Lecture Series at Lawrence features our faculty, students and staff sharing their expertise related to the knowledge and skills necessary to take a culturally competent, equity-minded approach to the work and learning in which they are engaged at Lawrence.
