Bulls, and Sheryl Thomas. They will offer their reflections on the role of music in our shared faith. As an added bonus, Mac Ice, ACU\u2019s Director of Special Collections, is preparing a special exhibit featuring various editions of this historic hymnal.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s third annual Restoration Day is hosted by the Center for Restoration Studies (CRS) at ACU. Part of CRS\u2019s mission is help Christians remember key events and personalities from our shared past that have brought us to the present. Restoration Day\u2019s date of September 7 has been selected because it marks the anniversary of Thomas Campbell\u2019s publication of <em>The Declaration and Address<\/em>, a foundational document that helped give birth to our branch of Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>Please RSVP to Jenny Kelly in the Graduate School of Theology office (<a href=\"mailto:jjk21a@acu.edu\">jjk21a@acu.edu<\/a>) if you plan to attend this event or if you would like to receive a link to watch this event via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you on September 7 as we worship together, celebrate our heritage, and consider the ways in which music continues to shape our identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join the ACU Community as it celebrates Restoration Day on September 7 at the Chapel on the Hill (6:00\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u20138 p.m.).
