FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Sister Felicity Dorsett, University of Saint Francis assistant professor of theology, will speak about “The Chariot-Throne of God, Elijah, Ezekiel, Angels and Francis” to open the USF Spring Philosophy/Theology Lecture Series.
The free lecture is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19 in the Parkview Physicians Group Auditorium, Room 226, in Achatz Hall of Science and John and Toni Murray Research Center on campus, 2701 Spring St.
Sister Felicity will address how scripture speaks in several ways about God’s chariot-throne: powerful, mysterious and captivating.

The USF Philosophy/Theology lecture in March will be:
“Otherness and the Subjectivity of the Subject: A Look at Contemporary Philosophy”
