PROFESSOR PENS COLLECTION OF STORIES |
Celebrate Capital’s newest author, Angela Buck, assistant professor of English, as she reads from her recently published book, “Horses Dream of Money.” Buck, along with Liam O’Loughlin, assistant professor of English, and students from the English department also will discuss the future of literature.
Thursday, Sept. 30
3 to 4:30 p.m.
Ruff Memorial Learning Center 202
Buck’s book is described as a “visceral, stark, and deadpan collection of stories that brilliantly fuse humor with horror.” The review continues: “Angela Buck brings a raw energy and witty sobriety to these accounts of human life and connection, drawing on the intimacy of fireside-storytelling, gimlet-eyed revelry in bloodletting, and the marriage of the fantastical with the quotidian.”
A few copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, or you can buy it through Amazon.

PRAYER LABYRINTH INSTALLED ON CAMPUS |
The Fred Meuser Courtyard, located in the Trinity Lutheran Seminary green space along College Avenue, has a new permanent fixture. A grey-stoned prayer labyrinth invites visitors to reflect, meditate, and commune with the Divine as they move through the patterned pathway.
We invite the community to join in the dedication of the labyrinth as the final event of Trinity Days 2021.
Labyrinth Dedication
Friday, Sept. 24
11:30 a.m.
Unlike a maze, you cannot get lost in a labyrinth, and there are no dead ends. Instead, you are invited to walk the bending pathway, representing the twists and turns of life's journeys, knowing they will eventually lead to the center gathering space. From the center, the path will lead you just as certainly back into the world.
Trinity's labyrinth was years in the making. As our community grieved the 2006 death of Pastor Aaron Blankenhorn (Trinity '03, Capital '99), leaders rallied around the possibility of installing a labyrinth in Aaron's honor, but the 2007 financial crisis delayed those plans. Numerous gifts over the last decade, including those from the Stellhorn and Anderson families, breathed new life into the labyrinth dream.
