Dale Schrag, director of marketing and church relations at Bethel (Kan.) College, will present a conversational Bluffton University Forum on 16th-century Anabaptist leader Pilgrim Marpeck on Tuesday, Oct. 19. Free and open to the public, the forum will begin at 11 a.m. in Yoder Recital Hall.

Schrag's presentation, which entails some impersonation, will provide a "first-person" view of Marpeck's life. He will also draw observations that might be relevant to Christians today in what promises to be much more than a lecture.
