On the Experimental Nature of Speaker's Corner

What is Speaker's Corner?

Speaker's Corner is a night of interactive presentations on Life. Three presenters, one each for poetry, film, and painting will engage the audience, but all three will be presenting simultaneously. The result will be the marketplace of ideas, brought to life. The result will be Speaker's Corner reproduced in La Mirada.

We are attempting to change how Christians gather and learn together. Contemporary methods usually amount to a lecture with some questions and answers (if there's time) afterward. At Speaker's Corner, we will provide a forum for people to critically engage each other as well as the presenters in order to foster fruitful dialogue and deep thinking. Having the presentations happen simultaneously will mean smaller audience's for each presenter, which means a cozier, more intimate learning environment as well as greater flexibility for those who get engrossed in one topic.

Again, Speaker's Corner is an experiment, but one we are convinced you'll love. On Wednesday, March 16th (one week from tomorrow), from 7:00-9:00 you will have your opportunity to experience the next wave in seminars.

For those who are frightened away by the new format, we've also built in to the evening a special talk by Dr. John Mark Reynolds. Anyone who has ever heard Dr. Reynolds or has read his blog knows that he is worth the price admission himself. Oh, and did I mention it's free?
