View from the Bench: Closing Artist Roundtable
GTU Library, 5:30-7:30
A View from the Bench features a selection of drawings by Cruz Reynoso on his case notes while he served on the California State Supreme Court, as well as works by other Chicano artists. Chicano art is often produced for the community, a deeply religious community. Rather than artists hiding their faith tradition, the Chicano community creates art about protest and social justice which is fundamentally rooted in the community’s faith tradition.

Lex Orandi, Lex Vivendi et Via Media: Christian Worship for the 21st Century
7:45 pm Denniston Refectory, 2450 LeConte.
Dr. Lim Swee Hong, Associate Professor of Sacred Music at Emmanuel College of Victoria University of the University of Toronto, Canada. Respondent: Dr. Jamie Apgar.
How might churches revitalize liturgical practice in the light of socio-cultural changes in the present era? While the tradition is a rich repository of the Christian faith, it is not realistic to keep the existing liturgical practices without addressing its imperialistic ethos. Fundamentally speaking, liturgical contextualization or inculturation is not about recovering local cultural elements to showcase Christianity as a politically correct movement on the world’s stage. Rather, the adaptive processes seek to facilitate the germinating or rooting of local Christianity – that is, a faith expression that has its genus in contextual reality that values both its Christian heritage and its local reality.
