The MUSE Series is focused on bringing emerging leaders in cultural and theological fields in to STATUS to lecture and lead conversations, with the goal being education. These events typically happen 4 – 6 times a year in locations around the city. We hope that the content of our MUSE guests will cause you to evaluate your beliefs on their topic. The format of a typical MUSE gathering the first hour for lecture and the second hour for group Q&A with our guest. The views and opinions of our guest lecturers do not exclusively represent those of STATUS, but instead, provide a forum for you to be challenged and encouraged to establish your own view.
