Finding God in Central Texas

Finding God at Harvard and in the Hill Country
Kelly Monroe Kullberg

Kelly Monroe Kullberg arrived at Harvard University as a graduate scholar in the Divinity School. She found a willingness to accept virtually any form of religious expression -- except orthodox Christianity. She recognized in the way they avoided the name of Jesus there was an understanding of the potential power and life changing relationship that could be known in Him:

"Those who believed in Jesus were considered quaint at best, enemies at worst. But when I first heard people say 'the J word' instead of 'Jesus,' refusing to use the name that holds power, I knew they were nervous about him--that he might become a real live issue once again. Many wanted to keep that possibility at bay. A living Jesus would threaten the prevailing relativism and deconstructionism, as well as the politics of money, sex, and power."

Kelly went on to become a University Chaplain at Harvard and led the first Veritas Forum in the early 1990’s. Since that start, which featured Ravi Zacharias as a guest speaker and lively interchange with students, the Veritas Forum has grown to include appearances on campuses around the United States.

Kelly is the author of Finding God at Harvard and finding God Beyond Harvard: The Quest for Veritas. Identified in 1996 as one of Christianity Today's leading evangelic leaders under the age of 40, Kelly is gentle, dynamic, and fun! This is a rare opportunity to interact with her in a small group setting and to hear stories about how students and professors have been impacted by the Veritas Forum


For additional information on the Veritas Forums, please visit http://www.veritas.org/index.html

We look forward to seeing you at one or both of these events with one of God’s most enthusiastic and active leaders. Believe me -- she has great stories to tell.

Following the one Who is the Truth,

Larry
