ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

From AIG and the mortgage meltdown to Bernie Madoff’s greed, everyone, it seems, is talking about ethics in business. ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ 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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ 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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, 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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s 2009 Baccalaureate sermon in May.
