On 16 October 2005, Blacksburg Presbyterian will be hosting speaker Holmes Rolston, Distinguished University Professor from Colorado State University. As a part of BPC’s Peacemaking Sunday events, Professor Rolston will be delivering the sermon as well as joining in a variety of less formal discussions.
