God Behind Bars: A Conversation about Faith, Incarceration and the Public Square
You're invited to the 28th annual Paul B. Henry Lecture! The annual Paul B. Henry Lecture brings a Christian political practitioner to Calvin to speak about the interplay of religion and politics. The event is intended to inspire the college and the community to actively seek to integrate a Christian worldview with practical politics and public life.
This year, the Henry Institute is partnering with the Calvin Prison Initiative (CPI) for a lecture on "God Behind Bars: A Conversation About Faith, Incarceration and the Public Square." The discussion will include Todd Cioffi, Senior Advisor of CPI; Shawn England, CPI Alumnus and Calvin Theological Seminary student; and Noah Nagy, Warden of the Parnall Correctional Facility. Together, they will explore the profound impact of Christian values on the issues of justice, incarceration and public policy.
Over the past eighteen years, the lecture has featured individuals from both political parties, speakers from liberal and conservative viewpoints, scholars who have examined current political issues and questions, and prominent leaders of non-profit organizations actively working in the public policy arena.
The Henry Institute hopes you'll join us on April 22nd at 4PM in the Covenant Fine Arts Recital Hall for an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion.
