Creation: A Call to Care

This weekend Lee University with the Harvard Center for Health and the Global Environment sponsored a symposium, Creation: A Call to Care [News]. In other words, Cheryl has been doing her thing, networking. She arranged and moderated the event which is quite interesting since we teach at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary and not the university. The symposium is the result of her involvement with a group of Evangelical leaders and scientists working together to promote care for the environment. The event was coordinated by the School of Religion at Lee. The University did a phenominal job hosting and promoting the event. It was great for me to be with friends: Terry Cross (Dean), Jerome Boone, Rickie Moore, Bob O'Bannon, Ollie Lee, etc.

We were privileged to have Dr. Paul Epstein and Meg Thomsen of the Harvard Center stay with us Friday night. Paul was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. He and Meg were such pleasant house guests. We were honord to have them.


I must say it was also an honor to have dinner last evening with Dr. Joel Hunter, pastor of the 12,000 member Northland Church in Orlando and author of A New Kind of Conservative. Cheryl keeps introducing me to the most wonderful people.
