Q Union—a nationwide event on college campuses aimed at creating dialogue on contemporary issues facing Christians —will take place tonight from 7-9 p.m. in Judd Theater.
Oklahoma Christian University students Cade Deister, Hannah Siebold and Elise Miller will speak in addition to three nationally broadcasted speakers. Topics ranging from the power of words to the importance of learning will be discussed.
“I hope it [Q Union] is a little unsettling,” Siebold said Oct. 10 in a quick questions interview with the Talon. “I think that we can get really comfortable and really complacent, especially at a Church of Christ university. A lot of us go to Church of Christ churches, and we become extremely comfortable with one-dimensional teachings. I hope it stirs some people and makes some people uncomfortable, but I hope through that we can have good conversations.”
Tens of thousands of Christian college students from across the nation will participate in the event tonight, listening to both the nationally broadcasted speakers and local students, according to the Q Union website. Fellow Church of Christ-affiliated institutions Abilene Christian University and Lipscomb University are listed as participants.
“We empower students to engage cultural tensions by providing them the opportunity to address complicated issues, ask helpful questions and present hopeful solutions,” the website states.
Oklahoma Christian participated in its first Q Union event two years ago.
