The first Faculty and Staff Think Tank continued on May 21 and 22, focusing on different ways to integrate faith into the classroom and office environment.
Speakers included: Ed Zinke, Carlos Fayard, Timothy Standish, Humberto Rasi, Garland Duland, Howard Weems, George Ashley, and the University's CSO ('chief spiritual officer') Leslie Pollard.
In his opening remarks, President Pollard, asked: "What makes Seventh-day Adventist Education Unique?"
1) The Attitude of Urgency
2) Our Understanding of History and Reality (playing out the Great Controversy)
3) Every Man, Woman and Child has a Date with Destiny ("we're preparing our students for that destiny")
Enthusiastic discussions throughout the conference reflected attendees' interest in sharing their faith in a way that enhances the spirituality of the Oakwood University community.
OU Trustee Ed Zinke addressed the question "Faith, Learning and Living: What are the issues in this conversation?"
The Think Tank concluded on May 23, with an all-day service learning workshop.
