Pilgrim Marpeck coming to life at Bluffton
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.
Schrag, who has worked at Bethel for 26 years, was appointed the college's director of marketing and church relations in 1992. He has also been interim campus pastor since last year. He holds master's degrees in library science and history from Indiana University and Wichita State University, respectively, as well as a bachelor's degree in history from Bethel.
