Ashmun Discussions
| Mel
Leaman, D. D., Assistant Professor
Ext. 3296, Dickey Hall 218 |
| History |
| It happened in the Fall of 2003,
in the student cafeteria, with a tape in hand and it was done
by Dr. Leaman and Dr. Venerable. They both were eating with
different groups of students that day. Dr. Leaman passed Dr.
Grant's table and mentioned a tape that he had seen entitled
"Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero." Dr. Venerable
asked to view it. A week after the viewing of the tape they
came to a mutual decision to provide an opportunity for professors
to get together informally to discuss topics of pertinence.
This agreement led to the birth of the Ashmun Discussions. |
