The university chaplains invite one and all from Loma Linda University Health to attend Fall 2018’s University @ Worship, held Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. at Loma Linda University Church. This year’s theme, Explore, focuses on bringing students and faculty together to live, love, learn and lead.
Chaplain Dilys Brooks explains the meaning behind this theme:
“One only has to read the news headlines, tweets or view video clips to surmise that we are becoming a more closed society. We are creating a culture of insiders and outsiders. Though we have access to information and technology to discover more about each other, we seem to spend more time finding fault, hurling insults or retreating to what is familiar. Would it make a difference if we practiced connecting, listening and exploring what we have in common as human beings? This is uncomfortable and difficult yet worthwhile work.”
This schoolyear’s chapel services will investigate this process as told from the perspective of a Greek historian, physician and world traveler. The services will explore living like Jesus, exploring like Jesus and loving like Jesus as revealed in the gospel of Luke.
“What we uncover will challenge and empower us to continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ at Loma Linda University Health,” Brooks said. “Get ready to be confronted, to be invited to move out of our comfort zones."
