Community Forum on Kenya
Christian Theological Seminary, 1000 West 42nd Street
On December 27, 2007 immediately following a presidential election, violence erupted in Kenya. This tragedy has claimed an estimated 600 lives so far. The crisis continues as we are learning from news reports and people returning. International efforts at mediation continue. The state of Indiana has a special relationship with Kenya. Indianapolis is a sister city of Eldoret, Kenya. IUPUI has academic links with MoiUniversity. Rotary Club of Indianapolis works with Kenyan partners.
The Global Interfaith Council works with social services in Chulaimbo and Ambassadors for Children and other groups work in Eldoret and western Kenya. Literally thousands of Hoosiers have personal, business, and religious ties to the people of Kenya.
In our attempt to understand the situation and find ways to help, a community forum will be held on January 25, 2008.
Professors Jeanette Dickerson-Putman and Dawn Whitehead will facilitate our discussion starting with presentations and remarks by:
Gilbert Nduru, Geographer-Human Ecologist at Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya
James Chelang'a, Historian and Political Scientist, Moi University
Naftali Gichaba, Kenyan Association in Indianapolis and member of the Kenyan community in the US
Fran Quigley from the IU-Kenya Partnership will comment and representatives from IU-Moi Committee; Ambassadors for Children; Rotary of Indianapolis Downtown; Indianapolis Eldoret Sister City Committee; Umoja and the Global Interfaith Council; and other NGOs who work with other organizations in Western Kenya will also be present. If you would like to learn about what is happening in Kenya and share your ideas for collaboration and positive action, please come to the forum.

Mary Magdalene: In the Beginning OR Will the Real Mary Magdalene Please Stand Up?
Holly Hearon, Associate Professor of New Testament, Christian Theological Seminary
We all know about Mary Magdalene—or do we? What stories can we believe? What was her role among the followers of Jesus? Why was she remembered by the early church? What does her story teach us about discipleship today?
Holly Hearon (Ph.D. Graduate Theological Union) is Associate Professor of New Testament at Christian Theological Seminary. She is also a minister of word and sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Her publications include studies in the area of Christian origins, women in the early church, and storytelling in the ancient world. When time allows, she likes to spend time out-of-doors and especially in her garden.
