Al Staggs, a national entertainer from New Mexico, is bringing his nationwide tour to Westminster College Monday, Feb. 27, at 11:40 a.m. and 7 p.m. in Wallace Memorial Chapel.
Staggs, who served as a Baptist minister for 24 years prior to becoming a full-time performance artist, will present "Theologians in Residence: Clarence Jordan and Dietrich Bonhoeffer."
The morning performance will center on Jordan, author of "The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John." Jordan, along with Millard Fuller, co-founded the Fund for Humanity which later became Habitat for Humanity. Jordan's life and ministry were a contemporary demonstration of a radical commitment to follow the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount.
In the evening performance, he will portray Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was one of the only Lutheran pastors in Nazi Germany to speak out against the treatment of Jews and was executed for his efforts in 1945. Bonhoeffer is also the author of several books including: "Letters from Prison," "The Cost of Discipleship," and "Life Together."
Both events are free and open to the public. Contact the Rev. Jim Mohr, Westminster College Chaplain, at (724) 946-7116 or e-mail mohrjr@westminster.edu for more information.

As I write, on a Monday near the end of winter, we have snow on the ground and new flakes are falling. We sometimes attach value-words to weather - good weather, bad weather - as if our feelings or preferences should affect nature! Weather is to climate as one day on the job is to a career. Weather data, when accumulated, give us a picture of climate. We generally describe climate in terms of averages or means of temperature fluctuations, precipitation (including snow) and wind. We describe weather by the immediate, or daily, conditions that prevail.
