 In conjunction with the Symposium, all first-year students read and discussed the book "Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World," by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder. The book tells the story of Farmer, a Harvard professor, renowned infectious disease specialist and co-founder of Partners In Health, and inspires readers to examine their own passions, beliefs and callings. Many Concordia faculty, emeriti faculty and staff members are also reading Dr. John Neafsey's book on vocation, "A Sacred Voice is Calling: Personal Vocation and Social Conscience." The college's Lilly Call to Serve Project distributed copies of the book as gifts to the Concordia community, thanking members for living out their vocations. The college will be hosting book discussions later this year. |
