The 2018-2019 Writing Fellows Program with the Augustine Collective The 2018-2019 Writing Fellows Program With the Augustine Collective The Augustine Collective’s Writing Fellows Program is a selective writers’ development program that equips students to write and publish essays on their campus that engage moral, theological, and philosophical questions with Christian perspectives. Essays are also expected to draw on scientific sources and/or incorporate questions or themes relevant to scientific disciplines. The program aims to equip students to write in an accessible yet rigorous way for a broad campus audience, especially for the religiously uncommitted. During the 2018-19 academic year, all essays will take up an important question in either the category of science and faith or the category of character and virtue. Essays will be submitted to member journals of the Augustine Collective for publication. ----------------------------------- The Character and Virtue Track: Religion and the Science of Human Flourishing What does human flourishing look like? Can it be measured by social science, and does it even matter whether it offers benefits that can be measured? What role does virtue play in human flourishing and what is the connection between virtue and public health? What role does participation in religious community play in human flourishing and public health? Does social science add anything to a theological vision of human flourishing? If you’re interested in exploring these questions, we invite you to apply to the character and virtue track of the Writing Fellows Program. Key Program Elements: ● Video calls (Monday, Jan. 7th – Thursday, April 4th). The fellows will have four video calls. With involvement from Bria Sandford (Penguin Random House) and/or Mene Ukueberuwa (the Wall Street Journal) and Peter Blair (The Veritas Forum), this program ​ ​ element will include both subject matter exploration and writing guidance. Students will be expected to prepare for the meetings ahead of time by meeting writing deadlines and reading pre-distributed texts. On average, 2-3 shorter texts will be distributed in advance of the call. ● Essay writing (Monday, Jan. 7th – Thursday, April 11th). This program is structured around a four-month process of writing, editing, and publishing a compelling 1,200-1,500 word essay that engages a broad campus audience on questions of character and virtue. See below for the writing timeline. ● Writer’s Workshop (Saturday, January 26th). Hosted in Boston by Andy Crouch and Tyler VanderWeele, this in-person workshop will provide coaching on how to write a popular essay that is compelling and philosophically robust and that critically engages questions of character and virtue. Students will be expected to prepare for the discussion ahead of time by submitting their “first response” and reading 2-3 shorter selected texts. ● Publication and distribution (Fall 2019). Essays will be submitted to an Augustine Collective member journal for publication. The best essay will be chosen as a winner and receive a prize of $150. Key Program Dates: ● Thursday, Dec. 20th: Application deadline ● Monday, Jan. 7th: First video call ● Monday, January 21st: “First response” essay thoughts submitted (500-1000 words) ● Saturday, January 26th: Writer’s Workshop at AC2019 ● Monday, Feb. 18th: Proposal and outline due ● Thursday, Feb. 21st: Second video call ● Monday, March 11th: First draft submitted ● Thursday, March 14th: Third video call ● Monday, April 1st: Second draft submitted ● Thursday, April 4th: Final video call ● Thursday, April 11th: Final essay submitted The Essay ● Essays must closely engage with at least two texts covered throughout the course of the program, one from a Christian thinker and one from a non-Christian thinker. The essay should relate to the scientific disciplines, whether through incorporating scientific sources, addressing scientific questions, or through some other means. ● In the course of the essay, the author must address a topically relevant theme for the character and virtue track. Suggested prompts include: ○ What role does participation in religious community play in human flourishing? ○ What role does virtue play in human flourishing and what is the connection between virtue and public health? ● Further guidance on writing a successful essay will be provided to track participants along with a reading list for the video calls and the AC2019 conference meeting.

  • Cambrdidge, MA – It Was in 1643 When
    THE VERITAS FORUM Harvard University — April 6-13, 2003 For Immediate Release Contact: Kyle Klopcic (617) 493-3392 March 31, 2003 Or Heather Woodruff (617) 512-1643 Cambridge, MA – In an age in which religion colors politics both domestically and internationally, students at Harvard University are coming together this April to examine the intersection of faith and salient societal issues. The week-long Veritas Forum, which will run from April 6th through April 13th, aims to explore the intellectual and personal relevance of the Christian worldview in relation to the issues affecting the world today, from race relations to social justice. Believing that their faith will withstand the questioning of their Harvard peers, the various Christian student groups who organized the Forum will submit their faith to public challenge from intellectual, philosophical, and practical perspectives. Dr. William Lane Craig and Dr. Quentin Smith, co-authors of Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology, will be the featured speakers at the opening event of the Veritas Forum, where they will be questioning the existence of God in a debate co-sponsored by the Harvard Secular Society. A wide range of spiritual and societal issues will be addressed throughout the Forum, ranging from slavery and the spiritual roots of jazz to domestic and international social justice. These topics will be investigated via lectures, panel discussions, and workshops with guest speakers such as D.J. Grothe of the Council for Secular Humanism; Gary Chapman, President of the International Justice Mission; Ten Point Coalition founder Reverend Eugene Rivers, and Westminster Theological Seminary Professor William Edgar.

  • Proposal to Establish the Center for Ethics and Human Values at the Ohio State University
    1 PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH THE CENTER FOR ETHICS AND HUMAN VALUES AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Donald C. Hubin Professor Emeritus, Philosophy & Founding Director of the Center for Ethics and Human Values 2 I. MISSION Among the central concerns of humanistic study are questions about how to live and what is of value in human lives. These are especially pressing questions for citizens of an open society, whose extensive freedoms provide both the opportunity and the responsibility to reflect upon them and to choose lives that contribute to the community in which they live. The Ohio State University Center for Ethics and Human Values is a research center that aims to advance the understanding of these questions by encouraging research and writing on topics of ethics and value, including the history of thought on these questions, and by providing a resource for public discussion of foundational and applied moral questions. The Center helps the University to fulfill its responsibilities to students, faculty, and the broader community by advancing and disseminating knowledge about these central aspects of human concern. It provides a venue and resource for ongoing discussion of ethical issues within and across disciplines, including issues that arise within the academic contexts of research and teaching, as well as issues that confront us all as human beings and citizens aspiring to live worthwhile and rewarding lives. The Center for Ethics and Human Values will develop a set of programs (see Appendix A) that together, constitute an ambitious vision of the University and the broader community reflecting on the foundational ethical questions that motivate and unify much of the research, teaching, and other work pursued at Ohio State.

    2020 Regular Session ENROLLED SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 74 BY SENATOR ABRAHAM A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION To express the sincere condolences of the Legislature of Louisiana upon the death of Ravi Zacharias, head of a global ministry and best-selling author. WHEREAS, it is with deep regret and profound sorrow that the Legislature of Louisiana has learned of the passing of Ravi Zacharias on May 19, 2020, at age seventy-four, after a brief battle with cancer; and WHEREAS, the popular author and Christian teacher was known for his work through Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM), which focused on apologetic arguments for the existence of God and the reasonableness of Christianity, with the mission of "helping the thinker believe and the believer think"; and WHEREAS, he spent much of his time in ministry responding to philosophical attacks, insisting his faith held the answers to life's central questions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny; preached in more than seventy countries, and authored more than thirty books, encouraging Christians to engage with skeptics by presenting reasoned, respectful, yet robust, answers to humanity's existential questions; and WHEREAS, Frederick Antony Ravi Kumar Zacharias was born in Madras (now Chennai), India, in 1946, to Isabella and Oscar, and was raised in the Anglican faith; and WHEREAS, Zacharias, while still a skeptic, discovered his calling at age seventeen after trying to take his life by swallowing poison and, while recovering, he turned to the Bible and shortly thereafter began the study and the work which would eventually lead him to his calling as a Christian apologist; and WHEREAS, he immigrated to Canada at the age of twenty and graduated with a Bachelor of Theology degree from Ontario Bible College (Tyndale College and Seminary) in Toronto, Ontario, in 1972; and WHEREAS, after a formative trip to several countries, including Vietnam and Cambodia, he moved to Deerfield, Illinois, graduated with a Master of Divinity from Trinity Page 1 of 3 SCR NO.

  • Written Statement
    Seeking Justice with the Love of God March 16, 2016 The Honorable Peter Roskam Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight The Honorable John Lewis Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Oversight House Committee on Ways and Means 1102 Longworth HOB Washington D.C. 20515 Re: Written statement of the Christian Legal Society for the printed record for the Oversight Subcommittee’s Hearing on “Protecting the Free Exchange of Ideas on College Campuses,” held on March 2, 2016 Dear Chairman Roskam and Ranking Member Lewis: Thank you for holding a hearing on this most important topic regarding the need to protect the free exchange of ideas on college campuses. The Christian Legal Society submits this written statement for the printed record of the hearing. As Director of the Center for Law & Religious Freedom of the Christian Legal Society, I have worked to protect students’ right to meet for religious speech on college campuses for nearly thirty-five years. During that time religious student groups have been the subject of ongoing discrimination by college officials who oppose the free flow of religious ideas on campus. The Christian Legal Society (CLS) has long believed that pluralism is essential to a free society and prospers only when the First Amendment rights of all Americans are protected, regardless of the current popularity of their speech or religious beliefs. For that reason, CLS was instrumental in the bipartisan passage of the Equal Access Act of 1984, 20 U.S.C. §§ 4071-4074, that protects the right of all students to meet for “religious, political, philosophical or other” speech on public secondary school campuses.

  • Written Statement for the Hearing Record for the Subcommittee’S Hearing, April 4, 2017, “First Amendment Protections on Public College and University Campuses”
    Seeking Justice with the Love of God April 26, 2017 The Honorable Steve King, Chairman The Honorable Steve Cohen, Ranking Member Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice Committee on the Judiciary United States House of Representatives 2138 Rayburn House Office Building Washington D.C. 20515 Re: Written Statement for the Hearing Record for the Subcommittee’s Hearing, April 4, 2017, “First Amendment Protections on Public College and University Campuses” Dear Chairman King and Ranking Member Cohen: Thank you for holding a hearing on the urgent need to protect college students’ First Amendment rights on campus. The Christian Legal Society (“CLS”) submits this written statement for the printed hearing record to speak directly about the problems that religious students are experiencing on many university campuses. CLS has student chapters at law schools nationwide that have repeatedly experienced discriminatory exclusion from campuses because they require their leaders to agree with CLS’s basic religious beliefs. Numerous other religious student groups have encountered the same problem. Unfortunately, exclusion of religious student groups has been a recurrent problem nationwide for over four decades. As early as 1975, CLS established the Center for Law and Religious Freedom to defend students’ right to meet for religious speech on college campuses. In recent years, censorship of religious students’ speech increasingly has taken the form of university policies that prohibit religious student groups from stating in their governing documents, such as their constitutions, that they require their leaders to agree with the groups’ basic religious beliefs. These universities have told religious groups that, if they want to remain on campus as a recognized student group, they may not require their leaders to share the groups’ religious beliefs.
