International Graduate Historical Studies Conference at Central Michigan University

We at CMU enjoyed hosting another successful history conference, with very fine graduate projects from students all over the world. I had the very incredible honor of presenting my paper on Sir Edward Elgar and British Imperialism to Harvard intellectual historian Dr. David Armitage. His critique was extremely helpful, and having come from England and growing up with Elgar's music, he enjoyed my research and interests.

Palm Sunday and Easter Sermons

Here are two excellent sermons on the authority of Jesus Christ and the redemptive effects of the Resurrection from my pastor Reverend Sarafolean at Christ Covenant Church. We are working through the Ten Commandments, a very convicting series, but made an interlude for these two.

Palm Sunday Sermon: Kings in Contrast

Easter Sunday Sermon: We Shall All be Changed (start at 6:45 after the Pastoral Prayer)
