Kindlings' WinterFest comes to Orcas Island this weekend, March 9-11
The Kindlings WinterFest, March 9 through 11, is an annual lecture series featuring leading thinkers on issues of contemporary importance. It is a scaled down, lecture-only version of the annual summer event KindlingsFest.
WinterFest 2012’s theme is designed to help each attendee become more fully human. The public is welcome and registrants will be attending from across the Northwest.
Dr. Lyle Dorsett will speak on “The Pursuit of God The Spiritual Legacy of AW Tozer” and “Loving God with your mind ~ CS Lewis on every Christian as a Thinking Christian.” Dr. Dorsett is the Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism at Beeson Divinity School and also serves as the pastor of Christ the King Anglican Church in Birmingham.
He is the author of 18 books, including several Christian biographies and three works on C. S. Lewis.
Jeffrey Overstreet will speak on the subject, “We Are Also Five: How to Play Without Ceasing.” Overstreet is a film critic and author of four novels (the four book fantasy series The Auralia Thread) and a “memoir of dangerous movie-going,” Through a Screen Darkly.
