Davila Spreads Word of Peace

Reverend Mendelson Dávila, an ordained Presbyterian minister and International Peacemaker from Nicaragua, brings his message of peace to Alma College. On Sunday October 10, Reverend Davila will be preaching in Dunning Memorial Chapel.

The chapel service is open to the public. During the following week Reverend Davila will be conducting discussions with various Spanish and music classes, while dining with many student and faculty groups. His visit coincides with the end of International Peacemaker Week.

Reverend Mendelson Dávila is the Coordinator of the Reconciliation and Mission Program for Central America and Mexico. He also is a member of an eight-person commission that creates religious guide materials for both pastors and lay leaders of the Nicaraguan Presbyterian Church. A talented singer and guitarist, Dávila also founded the renowned group in Nicaragua called the Apostol, which writes and performs music sharing messages of the Christian faith.

 

The Corporation for National and Community Service named Alma College to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll With Distinction for exemplary service efforts and service to disadvantaged youth. The Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement.

Alma’s close faculty-student interaction provides numerous benefits such as the ability to do undergraduate research on a graduate level. Alma’s professors treat students more as peers welcoming student input and collaboration on faculty projects. When students are involved in research, faculty aggressively pursue publication of findings including students as co-authors.
