Dr. Nancy J. Duff Speaks at 2008 Midwinter Lectures

Sally Fink (pictured right) welcomed Dr. Nancy J. Duff, professor of Theology and Ethics, Princeton Theological Seminary, as guest speaker for a two day mid-winter lecture series at the Kirk on January 23-24. Her topic was The Ten Commandments and Common Life. Dr. Duff led us to examine such issues as whether the Commandments should be posted in the public realm, how God's name is used by American politicians, what kinds of civil law have and should support Sabbath rest, and how our understanding of faithfulness in marriage can fulfill the promise of belonging or turn that promise into a threat. The lectures stimulated many thoughtful comments and much discussion.
