Thursday’s breakout chapel in Collins Alumni Auditorium honored Dr. Richard Goode as he received the Mary Morris Award of Exemplary Service to Society. The award is presented to one faculty member every year who displays a high level of service to the community and to the church. The award is named in honor of faculty member Dr. Mary Morris, who passed away due to colon cancer in 2005 at 36 years old. Dr. Morris worked alongside of an organization called Character Counts. The program has chapters in cities all across the country, and its goal is to teach all ages about having good character. Dr. Morris was able to show her love of Jesus Christ through her work with the program, as well as on international mission trips. Past recipients of the award include former student Brett Flener, AGAPE leader Tom Burton and founder of the I.C. White Stone Foundation and university graduate Kim Tucker. The award was presented by the academic director for Lipscomb University’s Institute for Law, Justice and Society, Dr. Randy Spivey. “If there was every a chapel for you to live tweet, I think this is it. Because the stories you are going to hear and the words you are going to hear today are not the kind that need to stay in this room,” Dr. Spivey said as he began the presentation. Dr. Spivey announced Dr. Goode as this year’s winner of the award, and after the applause, went on to commend Dr. Goode’s accomplishments. “Dr. Goode has inspired students well beyond their time at Lipscomb. He played a signigicant role in the lives...

Lipscomb faculty and students are not shy about stating their opinions when it comes to the long-standing debate over faith and science. For the most part, they don’t say one side prevails over the other and agree that faith in God actually aids in the understanding of science. David McNutt, a biology major from Nashville, Tenn., is one student who believes there is a way to advocate both faith and science at the same time. “I think that there is an equal playing field,” McNutt said. “There are a lot of people who think one has to work without the other. I think that Christians can believe that science is ever-changing. A lot of things point towards evolution, but Christians can believe that there is a natural process that takes place, at the same time believing that God is completely in control.” Shivali Kanal, a biology major from Franklin, Tenn., draws a line between the two topics, describing faith as a way of life, and science as something current and ever-changing. “I think faith and science can sometimes get in the way of each other,” Kanal said. “For example, embryonic stem cell research is a huge issue today, and many people believe it’s not morally O.K. to kill embryos to get the embryonic stem cells and develop them into cells that can treat diseases such as cancer and heart diseases. “That’s a huge controversy. We could either save lives of diseased people right now, or save future lives. It has a lot of moral aspects to it, so that gets in the way.” Paul Justice, a physics major from Bowling Green,...
