Veritas Forum

All are invited to attend the Veritas Forum at Bryn Mawr College on Thursday, April 2 at 7pm in Dalton Hall 300 (third floor).

This year's speaker is Dr. Mary Poplin, who recently published a book called Finding Calcutta: What Mother Teresa Taught Me About Meaningful Work and Service. Here's an excerpt from her biography on the Veritas website:

"Mary Poplin is a professor of education at Claremont Graduate University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1978. After many years of what she calls "searching the spiritual net", she became a Christian in 1993 and now works to integrate her faith and her work in the university. Her compelling story is a testimony to the power and love of God in Christ to change us.

In 1996, she spent two months volunteering with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India. InterVarsity Press published her book on this experience, Finding Calcutta, in fall of 2008. She is a frequent speaker in churches and academic forums on the unique worldview of Christianity."
