Christian Association TransitionOn Saturday, May 20, alumni and friends of The Christian Association will gather one last time in the building that has been the locus of Protestant campus ministry at Penn since 1928. "This event marks a historic transition in the organization's long history of involvement in the social issues on campus and in the community at large," said Rev. Beverly Dale, the CA's Executive Director. The Christian Association closed on the sale of their building at 3601 Locust Walk on November 1, 1999, transferring ownership to the University of Pennsylvania. In celebration of this sale, the Board of Directors and Staff of the CA are planning a brunch reception from 9-11 a.m. and Program at 11 a.m. in Memorial Hall. The program will feature a distinguished panel of alumni and friends. They include: the Rev. Christine Berwanger '94, Dr. Robert Miller '94, Erin Cross, Penn staff member, Rev. Bill Knox, former CA director and Charles Howard '00. Panelists will discuss current issues facing the church, suggesting how we can prepare students to lead the church of tomorrow. The program will conclude with a Ceremony of Secularization of a Consecrated building. All friends of the Christian Association in the Philadelphia area are invited to attend. For additional information or directions, please contact Rev. Kaaren Nesmith at (215) 386-1530 or contact her via e-mail at upennca@dolphin.upenn.edu. |
