Sermon: "Back to the Future" by University Chaplain Dennis E. Groh
Date: Oct. 6, 2002 (Sunday)
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: Evelyn Chapel, Illinois Wesleyan University, 1301 N. Park St., Bloomington.
Background: Dennis E. Groh, class of ’61, is the University Chaplain and Professor of Humanities and Archaeology at Illinois Wesleyan. He was previously a Professor of the History of Christianity at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and an Advisory Member of the Graduate Faculty of Northwestern University, in Evanston, Ill.
Groh, who joined Illinois Wesleyan in 1996, is a specialist in early Christianity and the archaeology of Israel in the Roman and Byzantine Periods. He will be speaking on how students should be able to leave IWU for the real world, yet still retain the knowledge and wisdom that the university instilled in them.
