The Theological Weight Of Debt
2025-04-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Buntrock Commons Viking Theater
All are welcome to attend a lecture by Associate Professor of Religion Devin Singh. Singh will be giving a lecture on how debt wields extraordinary power in societies, shaping national economies and influencing individual choices. Unsurprisingly, the concept has longstanding uses in religion. Sacred texts employ debt language to encourage social responsibility and trust, while warning of debt’s dangers, violent misadventures, usurious risks, and moral costs. This lecture examines Christian theological uses of debt in depictions of salvation to shed light on the ways debt has emerged as a master category for describing moral obligation and for regulating human relationships in modern society

Tickets are on sale now for the St. Olaf College Theater Department’s production of “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” at Kelsey Theater May 1–4, 2025. https://wp.stolaf.edu/theater/tickets/
Edward Tulane is an expensive toy rabbit made of china. He is loved by a little girl named Abilene, but Edward doesn’t care. He is vain and self-centered. He has no interest in anyone other than himself. On an ocean voyage, Edward is accidentally thrown overboard and sinks to the bottom of the sea. So begins his journey—a journey over which he has no control, for he is a toy rabbit. He can neither move nor speak. As years pass by, Edward meets many different people in many different situations: an older grieving couple who find comfort in Edward’s presence, a hobo and his dog who introduce Edward to a whole community of homeless wanderers, a farmer in need of a scarecrow, a sad little boy and his very ill sister, and finally a doll mender and an old doll who teach Edward an invaluable lesson. Through this miraculous journey, Edward learns what it is to love, what it is to lose that love, and how to find the courage to love again. Based on Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel of the same name, the play is a theatrical tour de force for a small ensemble of actors and musicians.

Celebrate Asia Pasifika: Speaker Event (Prof. Hsiang-Lin Shih)
2025-05-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Buntrock Commons, Viking Theater
Hsiang-Lin Shih, Associate Professor of Asian Studies, will present Fathers and Children: The Cao Family and the Early Medieval Chinese Court Poetry.
“The parent–child relationship prescribed in the Analects of Confucius is so unique, and the grief for parents is so distinct from any other kind, that one who upholds the tradition may say, as the scholar Amy Olberding concludes: “In my parents, the world is made, and in their deaths, it comes undone.” Through this lens, I trace the divergent paths that the early medieval Chinese poets Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Rui take into a world that has come undone in their father/grandfather Cao Cao’s death. I observe how the bereaved children sustained themselves and their community—a family as well as a court—through poetry of emulation.”

Celebrate Asia Pasifika: Speaker Event (Eric Becklin and Valeng Cha) @ Northfield Public Library
2025-05-05 17:30 - 19:00 | Northfield, Minn.
All are welcome to attend a talk titled “Broadening Vision: The Complexity of St. Olaf’s Early Chinese Students and Lutheran Missions, 1918-1948” by Eric Becklin, Visiting Instructor of Asian Studies and History.
Valeng Cha, former Director of Government, Foundation, and Corporate Relations, will present “Hmong Oles: From Mountaintops to the Hilltops of St. Olaf”.
As part of St. Olaf’s 150th Anniversary Celebration and its commitment to highlighting lesser-known stories, Eric Becklin and Valeng Cha will share insights into St. Olaf’s long-standing connections to Asia. Their talk at the Northfield Public Library will focus on two key narratives: the early history of Chinese international students, which began in the 1910s, and the experiences of Hmong students at St. Olaf, particularly over the past few decades.
Becklin (class of ’12) teaches on the history and geography of East Asia at St. Olaf College. His research specializes in the Lutheran Church of China and questions of indigeneity and globality of Christianity as well as local and transnational social networks that come with belonging to a religious community. He is defending his doctoral dissertation later this year on the subject of the Lutheran Church in China, its formation as an institution, and its connection of Chinese Christians with the world via their Lutheran identity.
Cha (class of ’95) is the former Director of Government, Foundation, and Corporate Relations at St. Olaf. Coming from an immigrant family, he was a first-generation college student.

Seattle alumni are invited to join the Barnard Griffin Winery Woodinville Tasting Room on Saturday, May 10, from noon to 2 p.m. for a guided exploration of Cabernet Sauvignon!

Long considered the king of wine grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon has a storied history and is one of the first grapes most people think of when they think of red wine. We will discuss what makes Cab such a stand-out from the vineyard to your glass and how oak became Cabernet’s best friend in the cellar. We’ll also taste and explore Barnard Griffin’s spectrum of great Cabernet from various vineyard sites across Washington state!
The tasting will be led by Alaina Crawford, Barnard Griffin’s Woodinville Tasting Room Manager, who holds a Level 3 certification in Wine from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
