Highlighting Conjure’s history of resistance and Black women’s agency\, the essay challenges Western categories that separate religion\, magic\, and science. Love ultimately urges a decolonized approach that honors the resilience and creativity of African American folk traditions. \nGuest speaker: Naomi Love URL:https://www.manchester.edu/event/redefining-religion/ LOCATION:Wine Recital Hall CATEGORIES:On-Campus Events,VIA,Student Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260309T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260309T203000 DTSTAMP:20260403T171302 CREATED:20260310T184534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T184534Z UID:10000196-1773084600-1773088200@www.manchester.edu SUMMARY:Chapel Event Series - March 2026 DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs\, join us for a weekly chapel time starting on March 9th where we will discuss a variety of topics relating to faith and religion.\n– Mar. 2: Chapel Service with Father Koehl – Saint Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church.\n– Mar. 9: What is Truth? – With Pastors Luke Hunt and Paul Rupert.\n– Mar. 23: Worship Night – Hosted by Simply Brethren.\n– Mar. 30: Monday Night Chapel Service – Hosted by the Psychology Department.
