Join us for the 2015 Willson Lectures as we exploreFinding The Spirit of God in The Spirit of The World with keynote speaker Diana Butler Bass. 

On Saturday, March 28th, Bass will explore the question, "Where is God?" and suggest that a theology of divine intimacy is active in the contemporary world.  Drawing off her work on awakening, as well as her forthcoming book, she will knit together cultural trends, personal narrative, and biblical insights to weave a vision of spirituality that is hopeful, life-giving, and accessible.  

The lectures are free and open to the public. An optional fee of $25 includes breakfast and lunch. To register, visit this link: esr.earlham.edu/WL2015.
