the Gospel & Culture Project
Forum on Justice February 2008
In 1965 Martin Luther King, concerned about the effect of war on underclasses, cried out with the prophet Amos: "Let justice roll down like waters!" But just what do we expect to "roll down" when we call for justice? What does it look like? Does the Christian tradition offer any answers to these questions? This February, the Gospel & Culture Project presents a Forum on the Gospel & Justice that will seek answers to those questions. Through a series of speakers, film and discusions, presenters will address topics such as immigration, local gentrification, sex trafficking, the environment, peacemaking, and more.
Speakers will include Chris Seiple, President of The Institute for Global Engagement psychologist Diane Langberg, and Noah Toly, Director of Urban Studies and Assistant Professor of Politics and International Relations at Wheaton College.
The Forum will take place February 18-20 and 26-27 at Westminster Theological Seminary, 2960 W. Church Road, Glenside PA, 19038.

TalkHouse Events
TalkHouse is an arm of the Westminster Gospel & Culture Project whose purpose is to promote conversation directed at equipping the church for infl uencing the culture through listening and dialogue. We ask the question “How do we assist the church to speak about issues in a way that brings the character, beauty and integrityof Christ to the issues of life?”.Thoughtful preparation involving short readings is usually required.
These conversations are held over dinners of 12 hosted by friends of The Gospel & Culture Project.
For information on how to receive an invitation to a TalkHouse event, please
