This event, presented by the Department of Religion, is free and open to the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her book <em>Assembling Religion: The Ford Motor Company and the Transformation of Religion in America<\/em>, Curts explores Ford\u2019s life as a devout Episcopalian, reader of New Thought philosophies, and fervent believer in efficiency as a moral duty with his business functioning as a kind of ministry. Her public talk will provide a religious history of Ford and the Ford Motor Company, repositioning them within critical studies of religion and examining how Ford helped transform American religious life in the 20th century.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Armstrong Lecture series at K is made possible by the Homer J. Armstrong Endowment in Religion, established in 1969 through generous donations honoring Armstrong, an eminent pastor and longtime trustee of the College.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, contact Academic Office Coordinator Sarah Bryans in the Department of Religion at <a href=\"mailto:Sarah.Bryans@kzoo.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sarah.Bryans@kzoo.edu<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/10\/Kati-Curts.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of Kati Curts\" class=\"wp-image-25770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/10\/Kati-Curts.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/10\/Kati-Curts-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kati Curts, an assistant professor of religious studies at the University of the South, will deliver the 2025 Armstrong Lecture at Kalamazoo College.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henry Ford built cars, but author and scholar Kati Curts will highlight in an upcoming Kalamazoo College event how religion often drove him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":25772,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234,3],"tags":[],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-25769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
