SUMMARY:Big Tent Talks & Thomas H. Lake Lecture: Remaking the Commons
DESCRIPTION:At this crucial moment\, when homelessness is exploding\, affordable housing is diminishing\, and segregated communities are increasingly common\, we need to ask the question – “Are our built environments fundamentally immoral?” In this year’s talk\, Dr. Jennings will present on “Remaking the Commons: Forming a Moral Imagination for Possession and Philanthropy in Place.” \nAs a renowned theologian who teaches in the areas of Christian thought\, race theory\, decolonial and environmental studies\, Dr. Willie Jennings will explore how a faithful practice of giving might build new realities of community in our towns and cities. Dr. Jennings is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Theology and Africana Studies at Yale University Divinity School. \nThis event is free and open to the public. The in-person lecture will take place at Witherspoon Presbyterian Church (3535 W Kessler Blvd N Dr\, Indianapolis\, IN 46222) with a reception to follow. \nThe lecture will also be available to view live online. Registration is required to attend online and in person and you will make your selection when you register. \nFor questions\, please contact lfi@iu.edu. \n* Named in honor of Thomas H. Lake\, this annual lecture hosted by Lake Institute on Faith & Giving\, part of the IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy\, invites a noted scholar or thought leader to speak on a topic related to faith and giving. This year’s lecture is in partnership with Spirit & Place as part of their Big Tent Talks series. Big Tent Talks presents notable and inspirational speakers focused on faith and spirituality.

SUMMARY:Sacred Synergies: Nature\, Faith\, & Science with Katharine Hayhoe

Complete your ZOOM ATTENDANCE registration here: \nhttps://iu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_9ygB1BQNK-7NeRfLe1Jw \nHow do we talk about climate change—across scientific\, faith\, and cultural divides? \nKick off this year’s Spirit & Place Festival with a virtual keynote and watch party featuring Katharine Hayhoe—Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy\, evangelical Christian\, and author of Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World. \nEmbrace the spirit of community with food\, fellowship\, and the chance to connect with event partners at our in-person watch party or bring that spirit to your place by connecting virtually. After Hayhoe’s keynote\, join IU experts—online or in person—for interactive workshops exploring how to navigate tough climate conversations through dialogue\, science and policy communication\, and improv. \nWhy a virtual keynote & watch party? To reduce her carbon footprint\, Hayhoe presents virtually. We’re pleased to offer both a communal in-person experience at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation and an online Zoom option. All attendees will have a chance to explore what it means to talk—and listen—across divides. \nQuestions: Contact 317-274-2462 or festival@iu.edu. \nEvent Organizers: presented by Spirit & Place\, IU Environmental Resilience Institute\, Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU Indianapolis\, IU Indianapolis Communicating Science Program\, The Nature Conservancy in Indiana\, Hoosier Environmental Council\, Citizens’ Climate Lobby Indiana\, and Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. \nRegistration: Requested by Oct. 23.

Use the Q&A function to engage with Katharine and then stick around afterwards for something special: a short\, interactive session with a representative from the IUI O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at their Constructive Dialogue work—practical\, proven strategies for talking through the tough stuff. Curious about how to keep conversations open instead of shutting them down? You’ll walk away with a tool designed exactly for “important\, complicated issues that can divide people.”\nFor in-person guests: Arrive early at 5:30PM for heavy hors d’oeuvres\, live viola music by Colette Abel\, and a chance to mingle with our event partners before Katharine takes the virtual stage at 6PM. And don’t leave right after the talk—you’ll miss one of the evening’s most engaging experiences! Krista Longtin\, IU communication expert and winner of Spirit & Place’s 2019 Award of Awesomeness (“A Faith Leader and a Scientist Walk into a Bar”)\, will lead a fun improv-based workshop that will get you laughing\, connecting\, and reflecting on how to ask questions from genuine curiosity. You’ll practice communication skills that help build bridges and common ground\, something we all need more of.

SUMMARY:The Nature of Belief: How Translation of Sacred Text Decides Meaning
DESCRIPTION:Translation is never neutral\, and it shapes more than words. In fact\, it shapes the very nature of belief. Compare different English translations of sacred texts in small groups and how they have influenced understanding and belief across time\, cultures\, and communities. Participants will be challenged to rethink the meaning of well-known verses and how different meanings can reconstruct our thoughts. \nThrough small-group conversations\, participants will explore how translations of sacred texts shape meaning and influence cultural understanding. Beginning with a brief introduction and examples of shifting translations over time\, the event invites guests to compare different versions of ancient writings used across faith communities. By treating sacred texts as both poetry and philosophy\, participants will consider how language\, art\, and interpretation influence belief\, and how translation itself shapes the very nature of religious understanding. \nQuestions? Contact 317-531-6299 or gkelley@bez613.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Congregation Beth-El Zedeck\, Northminster Presbyterian Church\, and JCC Indianapolis’s Ann Katz Festival of Books. \nRegistration: Click here to register. \n  \n
