Thursday evening, March 4, the Christian Leadership College (Lincoln, Nebraska) will host a lecture by Dr. Gerry Breshears, Professor of Systematic Theology at Western Seminary (Portland, OR) titled, "Is Christianity to Blame for Injustice in the World?" The Lecture will take place at 7:00 pm at Lincoln Berean Church. The lecture is free and open to the public. I hope to see you there. Invite your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers
Here is a brief description of Dr. Breshears lecture:
Critics charge Christianity with responsibility for so much injustice, war and violence. Christopher Hitchens asserts religion is "violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children." Karl Marx characterized religion as "the opiate of the people," used by power brokers to keep people in submission while they exploited them. in this lecture we will ask the question, "Can Christians answer these charges without dismissing the truth that is in them?"
Dr. Breshears will also be teaching a course on spiritual warfare at the Christian Leadership College March 3-6. The public is welcome to register to audit this class. For questions or to register for the class, contact Chasity at cstarkel@clcnebraska.com.
