SUMMER 2021!
Hemingway’s Cuba
|
July 20th @ 6pm Dietert Center
|
When famed Nobel Prize recipient Ernest Hemingway left his beloved "Lookout Farm," Finca Vigia, in Cuba on July 25, 1960, he had no idea he would never again see the place he called home for over twenty years, his sanctuary where he had composed "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Moveable Feast" and "Islands in the Stream." The reasons for the abrupt departure remain mysterious. Some have suggested Hemingway had grown disenchanted with the brutal tactics favored by the revolutionary Fidel Castro. Others say Hemingway was ordered home by the US State Department for his own safety. More likely, the departure was carefully orchestrated by his concerned wife, Mary, who knew the great writer was battling crippling depression, anxiety and alcoholism. This lecture will focus on Hemingway's final days in Cuba and include a brief description of a recent trip by the speaker and his Schreiner University students to see Hemingway's Cuban house and his other famous literary haunts.

Storytelling: A Human Experience
|
July 22nd @ 6pm
Schreiner University Junkin Campus Ministry Fellowship Hall |
We create narratives of our lives as we live them, telling ourselves and others our stories. Storytelling is basic to the human experience, and we can discover ourselves in the stories we tell. Storytelling is not just one activity among many; it is the central thread of being human. Neuroscience points to this through scientific discoveries about the brain, literature shows us the stories of the ages, and our community is a place to share our stories even as we create a community in the sharing.
