Marion E. Wade Center

The Archives and Special Collections at Wheaton College presents "Archival Research Lecture," a lecture by Dr. Karen Johnson on Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM.In the 2026 Archival Research Lecture, Wheaton history faculty member Karen Johnson asks, "Why spend time poring over diaries, letters, and meeting minutes, searching for a needle in a haystacks when you're not even sure what the needle looks like?" &nbsp;Drawing on her research on civil rights leader John Perkins in Wheaton's archives and the exhilarating, though sometimes unsettling, experience of bringing students face-to-face with original sources, history faculty member Dr. Johnson argues that archives offer something we desperately need. &nbsp;Encountering people made in God's image, who like us were capable of great evil and great good, loosens the grip of our assumptions and draws us into the diversity of God's Kingdom. &nbsp;It can also teach us to love our places well and live more faithfully here and now. &nbsp; &nbsp;This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Marion E. Wade Center, &nbsp; Room 130 Bakke Auditorium, located at 351 East Lincoln Avenue in Wheaton on the Northwest corner of campus at the intersection of Washington Street and Lincoln Avenue. For more information, contact Archives at 630.752.5910 or <a href="mailto:archives@wheaton.edu">archives@wheaton.edu</a>.

The Wheaton College Department of Philosophy presents the next event in our 2026-27 Philosophy Speaker Series. Dr. Mary Hirschfeld, John T. Ryan Jr. Associate Professor of Theology and Business Ethics at the University of Notre Dame, will give a lecture titled “Wealth Is Good. But What Kind of Good Is It?" on Thursday, November 12 at 7:30 PM.
Hirschfeld writes, "Who doesn't want to be rich? But why do we want to be rich? It may be true that you cannot buy happiness, but thinking about the positive role wealth can play in a good life might help us avoid the very real danger that money may buy us futility, anxiety, and depression."
Dr. Hirschfeld works on the boundaries between theology and economics using an approach rooted in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. She has written on economic inequality, the technocratic paradigm, the financial crisis and the common good. Her book Aquinas and the Market: Toward a Humane Economy was published by Harvard University Press in 2018.
This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Blanchard Hall Room 339, located at 501 College&nbsp;Avenue in Wheaton. For more information, contact Amy Park at 630.752.5040 or <a href="mailto:philosophy@wheaton.edu">philosophy@wheaton.edu</a>.

Gary United Methodist Church

Heralding the Christmas season, Camerata Chicago and Camerata Chicago Chorus will feature Part I of George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah,” HWV 56 — traditionally known as the Christmas section — followed by the jubilant “Hallelujah” chorus from Part II, sung first by the chorus and repeated as an audience sing-along.
The concert, led by founder and music director Drostan Hall, opens with Handel’s celebratory “Zadok the Priest,” HWV 258, for orchestra and chorus, an anthem written for the coronation of England’s King George II. The text is derived from the biblical account of the anointing of King Solomon by Zadok and the public’s rejoicing.
The piece opens with a long suspenseful build-up leading to the chorus’s glorious entry.
Hall sees a spiritual connection between these works. “’Zadok’ is about the anointment of an earthly king, recognized by God and the Church,” he says. “‘Messiah’ is about the arrival of the heavenly king.”
Soloists are countertenor Key'mon Murrah, mezzo-soprano Camille Robles, tenor Daniel Luis Espinal, and bass-baritone Laureano Quant.
Tickets and information
Single tickets are $50 adults, $40 seniors 65 and over, $10 students, $2 children 14 and under. VIP tickets are $75.
Using online code CCPR provides a 15% discount.
Tickets and information are available at CamerataChicago.org and by phone 312-799-0916. Email: andiamo@cameratachicago.org.
