We live in incredible times. As I write this message, angry Occupy Wall St. protestors rage on the street below. Some protest corruption, others wealth, and still others property itself.

I am relieved that just a few feet inside these walls our faculty offer a more hopeful and well-reasoned perspective on our modern problems.

Last week, I was honored to have Dr. John Lennox, a world-renowned Christian apologist, lecture at The King's College. He is a thinker of great precision and wit, and his lectures on "Does Science Point to God?" were invaluable for our students.
