Bluffton University Forum address

During a Nov. 1 Forum at Bluffton University, Dr. David Weaver-Zercher, professor of American religious history at Messiah College, took students to the early 16th century in the midst of the Protestant Reformation. At that time, Anabaptists were cruelly punished for their beliefs.

“Catholics and Protestants didn’t agree on much, but they did agree on killing Anabaptists so they couldn’t spread their ideas,” said Weaver-Zercher, author of “Martyrs Mirror: A Social History.”

Thanks to COSI-On-Wheels and its Astounding Astronomy outreach

The entire solar system came to Bluffton on Nov. 10. It even fit in the elementary multi-purpose room.

If you have an elementary child in your household, your child will gladly explain how this occurred.

If not, accept this explanation: COSI-on-Wheels brought it all to Bluffton with its Astounding Astronomy program.

And, elementary youth immersed themselves with science without even realizing it.
