HILLSBORO, Kan. – Richard Schroeder, a former radio announcer from Denver, Colo., will be the speaker at Lifelong Learning at 9:45 a.m., Friday, April 17 in the Wohlgemuth Music Education Center on campus in Hillsboro. For those who cannot attend Friday’s session, we have scheduled an additional program from 9:30-11 p.m. on Thursday, April 16 in the Wohlgemuth.
Schroeder’s program entitled “C.S. Lewis, Pearl Harbor and The Rest of the Story,” will take us back in time—using an old radio broadcast—where Schroeder shares historical sounds to draw us into the stories of C.S. Lewis, Pearl Harbor and others.
Schroeder will share audio from radio broadcasts and news bulletins from the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Attendees will have a rare opportunity to hear the actual voice of Lewis as a Christian broadcaster on BBC during the darkest days of the London Blitz.
Schroeder says, “Finally, we’ll tie all the pieces together with the thread of why a loving God allows such intense suffering in the world. It’s 45 minutes of living history with a finale that hopefully will touch not only your memory, but your heart.”
The public is welcome to attend all Lifelong Learning sessions and may register at the door. Fees are $5 per session. Attendees may enjoy lunch in the Tabor College cafeteria after the session at the discounted price of $4.
