Dr. Jonathan Lee Walton, president of Princeton Theological Seminary, will be our 2025 speaker. Please join us Sun., Feb. 2 at 4 p.m. Grace Lutheran Church, Tulsa, 5th and Lewis.
The title of his lecture is "What Do We Owe One Another in an Age of Self-help & Personal Spirituality?"
Over the last 40 years, the idea that social well-being is best advanced by promoting individual entrepreneurship & privatization has come to dominate the public approach to education, healthcare, environmental protection & so many other areas of our living together. What is the impact of such market-based morality on communities of faith? How can/should religious institutions still teach about “the Common Good” in a marketplace focused on individual spirituality?
