This event has been POSTPONED due to rain. Please watch for more details on the new date.
Come out, get your hands dirty, and make new friends as we assist Lakewood Elementary in maintaining their school's garden. The garden is very important to Lakewood as children use the garden to learn about all aspects of the natural world: plant and animal lifecycles, composting, where food comes from, care for the environment, enjoyment of the beauty of flowers. The garden also provides a primary experience for developing literacy and math skills. Activities will include weeding, pruning, and digging...nothing glamourous about the work, but having our assistance will mean the world to the people at Lakeview Elementary. Please RSVP as soon as possible to jar7@duke.edu.

This film is a documentary created by a Duke alumnus that addresses the conflicts of modern Christianity and homosexuality.
Come for free pizza and refreshments.
Purpose: to provoke some intelligent thinking and discussions on a controversial topic that is relevant to us all as rising professionals. Brief discussion will occur immediately after the film if people are interested.
WHAT?: Showing of "For the Bible Tells Me So" WHEN?: Thursday, April 17th, 5 pm WHERE?: Duke Clinic Amphitheatre (across cafeteria in ground floor of Duke South) WHO?: Everyone at Duke Med (as well as others at Duke. BRING FRIENDS!) WHY?: Free pizza and refreshments AND to provoke some intelligent thinking and discussions on a controversial topic that is relevant to us as rising medical professionals. Brief discussion will occur immediately after the film if people are interested.
Details:
The film is a documentary created by a Duke alumnus that addresses the conflicts of modern Christianity and homosexuality. It depicts families and individuals (one in particular from North Carolina) that have faced this conflict, and introduces principles in theology, psychology, and even scientific theories in order to clarify many misconceptions and myths.
As students at Duke University SOM, it is important to be aware of many different subpopulations of patients and the issues they face that may affect their health and well-being. Being in a Christian-dominated part of the country, religion plays a critical role in many aspects of patients’ lives in this community, namely, views on their own and others’ sexuality. Below is a synopsis of the film:
"For the Bible Tells Me So" (Daniel Karslake, 2007, 99 min, Color, DVD).
Filmmaker and Duke graduate of '87, Daniel Karslake, created a film that has been short-listed for an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary in 2007.
ABOUT THE FILM: Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without feeling obliged to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp (as a literal reading of scripture dictates).
"The 11th Hour" documentary, narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, explores how humanity has arrived at this critical moment in time; how we live, how we impact the earth's ecosystems, and what we can do to change our course. The movie will be followed by a question-and-answer session with a panel including Richard Dent, co-director of The 11th Hour Action Campaign, and Duke ecologist Stuart Pimm, who was among dozens of experts interviewed in the movie. Space is limited, please RSVP to Tavey McDaniel (tavey.mcdaniel@duke.edu).
