America's 250th with Concordia University Chicago

from The Coffee Hour from KFUO Radio

How do we celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial? Dr. Russell P. Dawn (President of Concordia University, Chicago) and Dr. Wilfred McClay (chair of classical history and western civilization at Hillsdale College, presenter for CUChicago Stand Tall for Freedom Series) join Andy and Sarah to talk about Concordia Chicago's Stand Tall for Freedom Series, why it's important that we consider the topics of freedom, virtue, and civic responsibility during America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, Dr. McClay's area of research and work at Hillsdale College, what people may not know or understand about America's founding documents, and what Dr. McClay will be speaking about at the Stand Tall for Freedom event in September. More details for this specific event will be released at a later date, so stay updated on the Stand Tall for Freedom series at cuchicago.edu/events. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
