January Series airs at Oak Hills Church

A challenging series of 15 lectures on topics from international politics to personal morality will be presented as a live video feed from Calvin College at the Oak Hills Church during January. Speakers will include Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and Washington Post correspondent T.R. Reid. The series is free and will be aired on weekdays from January 6-26 at 9:30 am. The full schedule is available on the college website: calvin.edu/january/2010/

Calvin College initiated “The January Series” in 1987—fifteen hour-long cultural enrichment lectures/talks on diverse subjects by leading personalities. At first the free Series was only held on campus in a 1000 seat auditorium. Since 2008 the Series has been broadcast live to locations across North America, one of which, for the first time, is the Oak Hills Church, which is the only Oregon site for the series.

The Oak Hills Church was founded along with the development of the Oak Hills planned community in 1965. Part of the Christian Reformed Group of churches, it is located in the center of the community across from the common park/recreation center at 2800 N.W. 153rd Avenue. More information is available at oakhills-church.org.

Calvin College, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is one of the largest Christian colleges in the world with an enrollment of over 4,000 students. Recognized year after year by US News and World Report as one on the top liberal arts colleges in the Midwest, it was founded in 1876 by Calvinistic Dutch settlers as a Theological Seminary and evolved into a highly respected liberal arts college which is both international and interdenominational.
