Institute for Christian Studies Annual Alberta Family Conference
Liberalism's impact on the west. The current war on terrorism can be seen as a conflict between two ideologies, liberalism and Islamism. Liberalism has developed in five stages since the 17th century, and in its most recent manifestation it is unable to account adequately for mutual responsibility and thus has produced increasing social fragmentation. Presentation #2 with David Koyzis (Saturday afternoon) Islamism, terrorism, and the secular west. Far from fading away in the modern era, traditional religious loyalties remain strong, especially in the Islamic world. The Islamist movement retains the emphases of traditional Islam while taking on some typical western ideological assumptions. Presentation #3 with David Koyzis (Sunday afternoon) Canada's place in the new world order. Current efforts to address the terrorist threat, along with the rogue states sponsoring it, are being undertaken by the United Nations, the United States and many other countries. However, given the weakness of the UN and the willingness of the US, the latter is attempting to build a new world order under its own auspices. Where does Canada fit into this? David T. Koyzis has taught at Redeemer University College since 1987. He holds the B.A. in political science from Bethel College, St. Paul, Minnesota; the M.Phil. in political theory from the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto; and the Ph.D. in government and international studies from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. He is the author of Political Visions and Illusions: A Survey and Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies (Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 2003). He is married to Dr. Nancy Calvert-Koyzis, and together they have a daughter, Theresa. Programs for all Ages Teen Stuff A special teen program is being planned for those 13 years and older. Children's Corner Organized crafts and games will be offered to all children during the lectures. There will also be a nursery available for infants and toddlers during the keynotes, the workshops and the worship service. Parents are expected to volunteer their time and take one turn in the nursery or craft room. Sign up during registration. |
