Rev. Dr. Arthur and Dr. Rosemary Peacocke
Arthur and Rosemary Peacocke will visit Augustana College during the second half of April 2004.
Their visit is sponsored by the Faculty Development grant, the Stanley L. Olsen Chair of Moral Values, Sioux Valley Hospital, and Academic Dean Richard Hanson.
Arthur Peacocke won the 2001 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, which is a major award in science and religion. Rosemary Peacocke has served as Her Majesty's Inspector of the British schools. Other links.
During April 2004 their activities will include
1. A public address.
2. Time in small group or classroom settings with Augustana students: Capstone
in Religion/Science (Genl 492 F, The Inter'face' between Science and Religion:
How Then Shall We Live) with Ann Pederson and Arlen Viste, education classes
with John Clementson
3. Time with the respective departents sponsoring the visits: religion/philosophy/classics,
education, and chemistry
4. Possible time with students/faculty on a one-on-one basis about student
learning goals for internationalizing their current outlooks, projects,
etc.
We believe that while giving public addresses are important, one of the best ways that students could benefit from the Peacockes visit would be to schedule as many classroom and other informal meetings as possible. In these exchanges, ideas can be shared without the formal strictures of a public lecture setting.
=======================
In early January, 2004, Arthur and Rosemary Peacocke decided that they are not able to travel to Sioux Falls and Augustana in Spring 2004. Thus regrettably this visit will not take place. However since they have visited here previously and we have great respect for them and their work, we leave this announcement here, with considerable nostalgia.
