On Oct. 2, Julia Stronks, Professor of Political Science, gave her final Lindaman Chair lecture at Whitworth University. The topic was the role of church and state regarding same-sex marriage, a topic she has explored both through the lens of constitutional law and her own faith journey.
At the end of March, World Vision announced it would hire Christians in same-sex marriages. Whitworth University’s Political Science Professor Julia Stronks rejoiced, though her feelings turned to disappointment two days later when World Vision reversed its decision.
Whitworth University political science professor, Julia Stronks, will present her third Lindaman Chair lecture, “Civil Rights for the Gay Community and Religious Freedom: Avoiding a Constitutional Clash," tonight at 7 p.m. at Whitworth University in the Robinson Teaching Theatre in Weyerhaeuser Hall.
