Wheaton College hosts CACE Lecture With George Harinck April 23

Dutch Historian George Harinck will deliver a lecture titled "The Barmen Declaration: Opposed to Hitler and the Nazis?" at 7 p.m. Monday, April 23.

The Barmen Declaration was a 1934 document that was widely considered a call to resistance against the theological claims of the Nazi state and a protest against Hitler and National Socialism. Dr. George Harinck's lecture offers an alternative perspective. A discussion time will follow.

Dr. Harinck is a professor of history at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He also serves as Director of the Archives and Documentation Centre at Kampen Theological University and director of the Historical Documentation Center for Dutch Protestantism at the VU.

This lecture is sponsored by Wheaton College's Center for Applied Christian Ethics (CACE) and is part of CACE's 2011-2012 eMBODY series focusing on issues related to embodiment and our understanding of identity.

Free and open to the public, it takes place in room 339 of Blanchard Hall, located at 501 College Avenue in Wheaton. For more information, call the CACE office at 630.752.5886 or visit www.wheaton.edu/CACE.
