Tipping Point Lecture Series: From international conflicts to school yard bullying, violence is a common stressor in our community - in all communities. Through a panel discussion, the first event in the Tipping Point Lecture Series will explore the origins of violence, and its relationship to religion/faith, government, and science. Panelists will include: Dr. Jay Smith, co-founder and president of the new Yellowstone Center for Faith, Adventure and the Arts; Dr. Franke Wilmer, MSU professor on international politics and conflict; Dr. Gail Small, co-founder of Native Action and assistant professor in Native American Studies at MSU; and Steven Crawford, Chief of the Bozeman Police Department; and Kiah Abbey, Deputy Director of Forward Montana. The event will be on Monday, November 14th at 7pm at the Bozeman Public Library Large Conference Room. It is free and open to the public. The Tipping Point Lecture Series is brought to you by the Yellowstone Center for Faith, Adventure and the Arts, a new community center serving Bozeman with park space, trails, athletic and arts facilities, public programs, a community cafe, and the Yellowstone Theological Institute and the Klein Gilhousen Center for Religion and Science. It is the goal of TYC to provide an open forum for dialogue central to faith and current issues, allowing for a greater understanding of the diverse thoughts and opinions in our community. Future Tipping Point lectures will explore faith and the arts, faith and ecological conservation, faith and civil rights, and faith and science. www.yellowstonecenter.org
