Truitt Center For Religious & Spiritual Life

From AIG and the mortgage meltdown to Bernie Madoff’s greed, everyone, it seems, is talking about ethics in business. Elon University faculty harnessed that interest Tuesday in a panel discussion that debated what role morals should have in the business world, regardless of economic climate.

Frank Turek will be speaking at Elon University on Thursday, April 16, presenting evidence for Christianity, cross-examining arguments against it, and answering student’s questions at 7:30 p.m. in LaRose Digital Theatre inside the Koury Business Center.

It was, to be sure, a straightforward audience question during a previous talk: “Are you a Christian?” But as Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. explained March 9 during a visit to Elon, with the way some churches and its members have invoked God’s name “like a Louisville slugger,” his answer is anything but simple.

The Rev. Janet Cooper Nelson, the chaplain of Brown University and director of the Office of the Chaplains & Religious Life, will deliver Elon University’s 2009 Baccalaureate sermon in May.
