Tonight: 5th Annual David Bear Memorial Interfaith Lecture
|
|
|
You are invited to the 5th Annual David Bear Memorial Interfaith Lecture Series featuring Yaakov Ariel, author of An Unusual Relationship: Evangelical Christians and Jews.
Tonight, 7:00 PM
Tifereth Israel Synagogue, 924 Polk Blvd, Des Moines, IA 50312
|
|
Dr. Yaakov Ariel will provide a comprehensive picture of the unusual relationship that has developed between evangelical Christians and Jews. He will explore the theological roots of the evangelical attitudes, point to the historical development of the interaction between the two communities of faith, and examine the actual manifestation of the enchantment, including extensive evangelical missionary work among the Jews and pro-Zionist activity.
His presentation will also look at the contemporary Israeli-evangelical friendly relationship and the political support evangelicals have offered Israel, as well as the Jewish, Christian and Muslim reactions to this relationship.
This event is free and open to the public.
The David Bear Memorial Interfaith Lecture Series is made possible by a legacy left by David Bear, a prominent Des Moines architect and businessman for more than 50 years. A member and leader at Tifereth Israel Synagogue, he was a pioneer in breaking down barriers among people of all faiths.
In addition to his many other professional community affiliations, he served as president of the Des Moines Area Religious Council in 1992, and was president of the DMARC Foundation in 1989 and 1990. He continued to serve as a board member of the Foundation until his death in the spring of 2010. In his honor, the Bear family has established the David Bear Memorial Interfaith Lecture Series.

Please join the Des Moines Area Religious Council for our Fall Delegate Assembly next Tuesday, October 20, 7:00 PM, at Windsor Heights Lutheran Church, 1240 66th Street, Windsor Heights, IA 50324.
This Assembly, we'll be learning more about minority religions in Des Moines, as told through words and photographs. Dr. Tim Knepper of Drake University's Comparison Project has been working with photographer Bob Blanchard to create these stories. The presentation will focus on five faith communities in Des Moines: Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Greek Orthodox and Muslim.
Timothy Knepper is a professor of philosophy at Drake University, where he chairs the Department of Philosophy and Religion and directs The Comparison Project, a public program in comparative philosophy of religion. He teaches and publishes in the philosophy of religion, comparative religion, late ancient Neoplatonism, and mystical discourse. He is the author of books on the future of the philosophy of religion (The Ends of Philosophy of Religion, Palgrave, 2013) and the sixth-century Christian mystic known as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (Negating Negation, Wipf & Stock, 2014).
With a long career as an urban planner, Bob Blanchard came to Des Moines to manage the development of a new comprehensive plan and rewrite of land development regulations for the City. With a second career as a professional photographer, he focuses on environmental portraiture and assignment photography. His photography has ranged from natural disasters to law enforcement training, from hospice patients and volunteers to ceramic artists and has been used by organizations as diverse as the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Patagonia. |
