Presented by Rev. Roger Dowdy ‘70.

Roger’s LIFE@Lynchburg presentation will focus on “Peacebuilding Intersections” Through The Arts, Artists, and Spirituality and will incorporate the three tenants of the LIFE@Lynchburg purpose statement:

• Encountering the “arts” and “artists” of Peacebuilding
• Digging deeper to explore the richness and often ‘dis-arming’ nature of engaging
  the arts as ‘instruments of peace’
• And learning varied approaches to becoming a Peace-Builder through the arts…There is always something new to learn and explore….every day, every ‘season’ of life, from being a student nurtured in the liberal arts to serving as a ‘seasoned’ alumni and/or a supportive member of one’s community.

Roger Dowdy was born and raised in Lynchburg, living only a few steps from the University campus. As a youth at Euclid Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), he was frequently on this campus. He is a Lynchburg alumnus, Class of 1970, with a BA degree in music (voice and organ).

Dowdy is also a member of the President’s Advisory Council.
