The Difficult Dialogues program was started at Ohio University this fall to encourage students to discuss issues of race, sexuality and religion.-
featuring OU alumni presenting their insights and encouraging discussion at weekly Campus Crusade meetings.
While the Difficult Dialogues program was created to encourage freshmen to discuss religion, Reasonable Faith brings these topics to the members of Campus Crusade, said Brian McCollister, director of Campus Crusade.
It's to expose our students that come to our weekly meeting to some of our best and brightest graduates and to address topics that are of interest both inside and outside of the Christian community he said.
Tonight's speech will feature Matt Harmon, an OU graduate who now serves as associate professor at Grace Theological Seminary in Indiana, and is titled God of Vengeance God of Love: Is the God of the Old Testament the same as the God of the New Testament?
The last two discussions featured OU alumni Matt Jordan, a Ph.D. candidate at Ohio State who focused on the larger question of God's existence and Luke Potter, a Ph. D. candidate at Notre Dame who explained to students why he thought no one should be religious. -
I don't think these issues were as widely discussed
