Armerding Center for Music and Arts

Wheaton College Conservatory of Music presents cellist Leonardo Garcia Altino in a concert at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 30. For ticket information, visit <a href="https://tickets.wheaton.edu/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tickets.wheaton.edu</a>.
Meditations and Lamentations featuring Leonardo Garcia Altino brings together powerful works for solo cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, György Kurtág, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Zoltán Kodály, exploring reflection, sorrow, and spiritual searching. At its center is the idea of the cello as a solitary voice, capable of prayer-like stillness as well as profound emotional intensity. The program invites listeners into a deeply reflective and intimate musical experience shaped by the expressive depth of these works.
This concert is part of the Faculty Artists Series at Wheaton College and will take place in the Recital Hall of the Armerding Center for Music and the Arts at 520 E. Kenilworth Ave. on Wheaton's campus.
For more information, call the Conservatory of Music at 630.752.5010.

The Sexual and Gender Identity Institute at Wheaton College presents " 2026 SGI Biennial Lecture Presents Faith and Sexuality: The Unstable Reclamation of Language," a lecture by Gregory Coles on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM. 7:00pm to 8:00pm Reception to follow.


The words “gay,” “evangelical,” “queer,” and “Christian” all feature prominently in today’s conversations about Christian faith and sexual identity. These four words share something else in common: Each has functioned as derogatory (or been declared derogatory) at some point in its history. To make sense of their current functions, then, we must also grapple with their reclamations—social movements designed to erase derogation and make a word neutral or honorific. Taken together, these four reclamation stories offer insight into the intersection of faith and sexuality, the instability of our words, and the undergirding stability of the Word. Gregory Coles is the author of Sexuality Beyond Sex (IVP, 2026); The Limits of My World (Walking Carnival, 2023); No Longer Strangers (IVP, 2021); and Single, Gay, Christian (IVP, 2017). He holds a PhD in English from Penn State and lives in Boise, Idaho, where he works as a freelance writer, editor, and language scholar. Greg is Senior Research Fellow at The Center for Faith, Sexuality &amp; Gender. This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Billy Graham Hall, Room 105 Barrows Auditorium, located at 500 College Avenue in Wheaton. For more information, contact Jorden Anton at 630.752.7206 or <a href="mailto:jorden.anton@wheaton.edu">jorden.anton@wheaton.edu</a>.

The Wheaton College Department of Philosophy presents a lecture by Dr. Andrew Chignell ’96, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Religion at Princeton University, titled “What to Do When You Don’t Make a Difference: Moral Arguments for God and Other Hope-Sustaining Things" on Thursday, October 1 at 7:30 PM.
Dr. Andrew Chignell ‘96 is a professor in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University, with appointments in the Religion and Philosophy departments. From 2020 to 2023, he was the president of the North American Kant Society, and in 2024 he co-organized the yearlong Virtual Kant Congress in honor of Kant’s 300th birthday. He has also held teaching positions at Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania. And fun fact: he will be at Wheaton celebrating his 30th reunion the weekend just after this lecture.

His research focuses mostly on Immanuel Kant and other 17th-19th century philosophers, as well as on philosophy of religion, the ethics of belief, and certain issues in aesthetics and moral psychology (especially hope and despair). He also has a teaching interest in food and animal ethics.
This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Blanchard Hall Room 339, located at 501 College Avenue in Wheaton. For more information, contact Amy Park at 630.752.5040 or <a href="mailto:philosophy@wheaton.edu">philosophy@wheaton.edu</a>.

The Wheaton College Department of Philosophy presents a lecture by Dr. Andrew Chignell&nbsp;’96, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Religion at Princeton University, titled “What to Do When You Don’t Make a Difference: Moral Arguments for God and Other Hope-Sustaining Things" on Thursday, October 1 at 7:30 PM.
&nbsp;Chignell writes, "It is easy to become demoralized in the face of massive, structural evils that suggest that our individual moral efforts will almost certainly be inefficacious. The goal of this talk is to explore the challenge that such futility poses to our moral resolve in a variety of contexts, and to argue for an approach that is non-consequentialist at bottom -- but still sensitive to the role that consequences play in our moral psychology. My view is inspired by Immanuel Kant’s 'moral argument' for the existence of God and the afterlife, though it departs from Kant at a few key junctures. Along the way I examine several different accounts of what it means to 'make a difference' and then articulate my own.”&nbsp;Andrew Chignell ’96 is Laurence S. Rockefeller Professor in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University, with appointments in the Religion and Philosophy departments. A graduate of Wheaton College and Yale University, he previously taught in the Philosophy departments at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University. His work focuses on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and related early modern figures, the philosophy of religion, the ethics of belief, and the moral psychology of hope and despair. From 2020-2023 he served as President of the North American Kant Society. Together with (fellow Wheaton grad!) Matthew Halteman and Terence Cuneo, he is the co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner&nbsp;(2016). His open online course “Food Ethics” is available on Coursera. And fun fact: he will be at Wheaton celebrating his 30th reunion the&nbsp;weekend just after this lecture.
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>.

The Wade Center is home to over 2,500 books from C.S. Lewis’s personal library. This talk explores what Lewis’s library reveals about how to read well and—in the spirit of Alan Jacobs’s Breaking Bread with the Dead, Wheaton College’s 2026-27 Core Book—how to cultivate “a more tranquil mind.”

Sayers, Desmond Tutu, and other exemplary communicators as guides for faithful practice. He is the author of&nbsp;Seasoned Speech: Rhetoric in the Life of the Church;&nbsp;Charitable Writing: Cultivating Virtue Through Our Words&nbsp;(with co-author Richard Hughes Gibson); and&nbsp;Remaking Transitional Justice in the United States. He is currently working on the collection&nbsp;Sites of Writing: Essays in Honor of Anne Ruggles&nbsp;Gere (with co-editor Sarah Ruffing Robbins) as well as a book project based on archival research conducted at the Wade Center. Beitler has taught a variety of courses at Wheaton, including Christianity and Fantasy, Lewis and Tolkien, Tolkien and Environmental Stewardship (co-taught with Kristen Page), Teaching Writing, Writing Chicago, Persuasive Writing, and First-Year Writing. He also teaches a course in the Wheaton College Summer Institute—the Makings of Middle-earth. He lives in Wheaton with his wife, Brita, and their boys, James and Arne.
This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Marion E.

The Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics &amp; Economics at Wheaton College presents "Ben Han Memorial Lecture: Korean Messiah," a lecture by Jonathan Cheng on Monday, October 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM.
For the past half century, Christianity has flourished in South Korea as it has in few other places. But a hundred years ago, no city in Asia was more Christian than Pyongyang, today the capital of nuclear-armed North Korea. In a city so thoroughly Christianized it was known as "the Jerusalem of the East," some of the very first—and most fervent—converts to the faith included the family of Kim Jong Un. Jonathan Cheng, the Wall Street Journal's China bureau chief and former Korea bureau chief, traces this remarkable history, from the central role of American Presbyterian missionaries in bringing Pyongyang to the faith to its transformation under North Korean state founder and one-time Sunday school teacher and church organist Kim Il Sung. 
Jonathan Cheng is the China bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal, overseeing coverage of the world’s second-largest economy across politics, economics, business, technology, and society. Jonathan leads a team of two dozen correspondents and researchers in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, and New York, with responsibility for the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.Previously, Jonathan was the Korea bureau chief for The Journal, running coverage of North Korea and South Korean politics and business. He began his career as an intern in The Journal’s Hong Kong bureau and also worked as a markets reporter in the Journal’s New York office.Jonathan speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, French, and Korean. A native of Toronto, Jonathan graduated from Princeton University with a degree in history. He lives in Beijing and has traveled to North Korea twice. 
This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Marion E. Wade Center, &nbsp; Room 130 Bakke Auditorium, &nbsp; located at 351 East Lincoln Avenue in Wheaton on the Northwest corner of campus at the intersection of Washington Street and Lincoln Avenue.

The Wheaton College Department of Philosophy presents the 2026-27 McManis Lecture, “What May AI Hope for?” by Dr. Antón Barba-Kay, on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:30 PM. 
Barba-Kay writes: "Most everyone seems to agree with the view that AI development should align with human needs—that it should serve us and not the other way around and that it can help us achieve some higher human potential. Unfortunately, no one seems to have any clear idea of how this would be possible and what this would entail. I want to discuss the intrinsic difficulty of this question as well as the question of what makes AI and other digital technologies so difficult to bring into focus. I then mean to convince you that some of our stock ways of approaching these technologies are wrongheaded; they are by turns transhumanist and dehumanizing. I'll conclude by offering a couple of alternative suggestions for the progress of AI, such as might yield a better (if qualified) vision of what we may hope for from it."
Dr. Antón Barba-Kay is Distinguished Fellow at the Center on Privacy &amp; Technology at Georgetown Law School. He was formerly an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Catholic University and Robert Aird Chair of Humanities at Deep Springs College. In addition to his scholarly publications in nineteenth-century German philosophy, his essays about culture and technology have appeared in The New Republic, The Hedgehog Review, and The Point, among other magazines. A Web of Our Own Making – his book about what the internet is and what a difference it makes – was published in 2023 by Cambridge University Press. He earned B.A.’s at St. John’s College and the University of Cambridge, as well as a Ph.D. from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.
This event is free and open to the public and will take place in Barrows Auditorium in Billy Graham Hall, located at 500 College&nbsp;Avenue in Wheaton. For more information, contact Amy Park at 630.752.5040 or philosophy@wheaton.edu.
