The Bernard Zylstra Lecture Series - Online
The speech "Spirituality and Entrepreneurship" by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, Ph.D., part of The Bernard Zylstra Lecture Series, recently hosted by Redeemer University College, is now available for download in PDF format here. Dr. Zylstra, a former professor of political theory at the Institute for Christian Studies, was an incisive debater and thinker with a passion to reflect the lordship of Jesus Christ in public life. The Lecture series is a tribute to him and his theories on religion, culture and politics. Campaign Reaches the Three-Quarter Mark

For some time President Cooper has shared a monthly prayer letter with supporters of Redeemer who have requested that he share with them needs of the College and reasons for thanksgiving which they could make part of their prayer life. We are pleased to bring these monthly prayer letters (and archived copies) to our website so that more people may support the Redeemer community in prayer. The web version may be accessed under "Quick Links" or by bookmarking http://www.redeemer.on.ca/about/prayer.htm. If you do not have regular web access and would like a copy of the prayer letter mailed to you, please contact the Office of the President.
