Rick and Other Speakers, at St. Thomas, on Evangelization/Proselytization

Having just returned from a few days' vacation, let me second Rick's invitation to Twin Cities-area readers to check out the program we are doing here at St. Thomas Law's Murphy Institute, this coming Monday April 7, concerning the conflicts over interreligious evangelization.  In addition to Rick revisiting his excellent paper on "Changing Minds," we'll have a companion address by Ali Khan, a very interesting Islamic law scholar from Washburn Law School in Kansas, and responses from two Twin Cities religious leaders, Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman of the Temple Israel (Reform) synagogue and Wilbur Stone, a professor of global ministry at the evangelical Protestant Bethel Seminary.  Speakers from four different religious traditions, offering legal, theological, and pastoral perspectives on what are increasingly viewed, as Rick notes, as matters not only "of piety and zeal, [but] of geopolitical, cultural, and national-security significance as well."  Hope to see some of you there, at 4:30 p.m. with a reception following.
