Upcoming Campion Events

Various campus and community organizations will be present to discuss how they are promoting sustainability.  The day will end with a lecture on the past and present Nuclear Debate in Saskatchewan. The lecture will be given in the Campion College Chapel at 7:30 pm.

The Nuclear Debate in SK Across the Generations
Jim Harding, Brett Dolter, and Katherine Arbuthnott

Wherever it is promoted, the nuclear industry is a flash point for debate and SK is no exception.  Recently the provincial government proposed an extensive set of recommendations to expand the nuclear industry and opened a public consultation process on the issue. Thirty years ago a very similar debate occurred in the province. In the context of four key themes of the debate, environmental health, weapons connection, energy policy, and economics, the speakers will describe research on the public response to nuclear expansion in the two time periods. A generation ago, the 1980s uranium inquiries showed a public paradigm shift from scienctism to sustainability, and the recent public consultations revealed the evolution of this shift in vision and values underlying the debate in Saskatchewan.

The Incarnation and The Stories We Live by

Geoffrey Williams, S.J., Ph.D.

The dynamic narratives of a contemporary world centre on the tensions between security and rootedness, liberty and freedom, ghetto and community, meaning and mystery.  These are the narratives that shape the way we live and respond to life.  Looking at how the Incarnation operates in Ignatian spirituality, and with reference to the film Children of Men, Dr. Williams, SJ, traces the movement from closed myth to open myth. In that movement, one abandons security, liberty, ghetto, and meaning, for rootedness, freedom, community, and mystery as manifestations of the open myth.

Geoffrey (Monty) Williams, SJ, PhD, former professor of English at Campion College, is a lecturer in spiritual theology at Regis College (Toronto). He has given workshops, retreats, and public lectures on spirituality in New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Hungary, Bratislava, Kuala Lumpur, and New York. Dr. Williams is the author of The Gift of Intimacy: An Exploration of the Dynamics of Relationship in The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. (Novalis Press, 2009) and The Reason In A Storm: A Study of Ambiguity in the Writings of T.S.Eliot (University Press of America, 1991). He is also the  co-author of Finding God in the Dark: Taking the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius to the Movies (Novalis Press 2004).

Featuring renowned environmental journalist Richard Manning
“In Wildness Is the Resurrection of Our World"

"Six thousand years of agriculture have created ecological crisis throughout the world, but nowhere is the story more dramatic than in the North American grassland. But here also, nature has given us clear instructions as to how we must redesign agriculture and economy to resurrect the creative power of the plains. These instructions point the way not only to ecological restoration, but also to revived economy and human well-being."

Richard Manning has worked as a consultant on agriculture, poverty and the environment to the McKnight Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and he has spent over thirty years as a journalist in Montana and Idaho. Manning has written numerous award-winning essays, magazine articles and books, and in 1995 he was the recipient of a John S Knight Fellowship from Stanford University. His recent books include Against the Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization (2004) and Rewilding the West: Restoration in a Prairie Landscape (2009). Manning teaches at the University of Montana and resides near Missoula.

All are welcome; free parking is available in lots 4, 14 and 17 (designated "M" areas only); and a book sale and signing will follow the lecture.  The lecture is presented by the presidents of Luther College, Campion College, First Nations University of Canada and the University of Regina.
