Asbury College: Engaging the Culture – Weekend Report

Monday, June 15th, 2009

We made an attempt to get someone to this event, but sadly the one person that might have been available had to work during the event. Thankfully another Narnia fan site was able to have someone in attendance. I would have gone myself, but I had a wedding to go to during the conference. Micheal Flaherty is a great friend of mine, and I would have loved to see him again.

Micheal Flaherty, President of Walden Media, will be a special guest of Asbury College’s Engaging Culture Weekend, April 23-24.

Flaherty will speak in chapel services April 24 at 10 a.m. in Hughes Auditorium. Later that afternoon he will hold a special forum with Asbury College’s C.S. Lewis Scholar, Dr. Devin Brown, titled “Spiritual and Character Lessons from the Narnia Films.” He is also serving a judge for the weekend’s Highbridge Film Festival on April 25.

Prof. Greg Bandy, who produces the Engaging Culture Weekend under the sponsorship of a Lilly Grant, underlines the impact of Flaherty’s presence. “We’re incredibly excited to have Micheal Flaherty as our special guest for this weekend. We’ve been working with Walden Media for several years for good reason. We share their values for stories that matter. Also, Mr. Flaherty has a distinguished background as a visionary educator. We’ve had some good synergies as a result.”
