Description
Who am I?
Faith, Identity and Vocation
Join us on Saturday, April 25th for the fifth annual Wheelock Conference at Dartmouth!
When we introduce ourselves to people, we often reference our Dartmouth graduation year, our academic concentration, or our job. Our identity in one of these groups influences many of our choices and the way we interact with others, but our identity is more than what we do. As organizers of the Wheelock conference, we believe that Christianity provides a compelling foundation for understanding our identity, and that this understanding is found by integrating our faith, reason, and vocation at Dartmouth and afterward. One of the tools we use to understand these concepts is to look to people who have drawn upon their faith to make difficult decisions in the past. How did Christian identity influence the abolition of the British slave trade in the 1800’s? Or motivate the stand against Hitler and the Nazi party within the German church? Our keynote speaker, Eric Metaxas, will look to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and William Wilberforce as two men who were driven by their identity in Christ to make the choices we now call heroic
In this conference, we are compelled by a basic foundation of integrating faith, reason, and vocation to gather aluni and scholars across the workplace and academy, whose posture of a faith-centric life informs the choices they make both personally and professionally.
We hope you will be among the hundreds of alumni, students, faculty, and community members to join us for our fifth annual conference on Saturday, April 25th!
