Few things bring me more joy than stumbling upon live music. Regardless of the genre or familiarity of the songs played, it is still entertaining and delightful. Even the occasional voice crack or missed note adds a certain charm to the performance, because you know it is real. For many of us, tickets to our favorite bands are pricey, making concerts rare and memorable events.
Finding local artists is a way to feed the craving to experience live music during times when our budget is tight.
Porchfest, an event scheduled for Sept. 9, provides a great opportunity to enjoy live music from a diverse group of musicians in Wayne, Pa. Emerging first in Ithaca, N.Y., Porchfests have spread to many places across the United States and Canada, transforming into an annual event which draws communities together. Nine years after Ithaca’s first Porchfest, West Philadelphia took up the idea and held their own Porchfest in 2016, reviving the event this past June. This year, Wayne, Pa., plans to follow suit, hosting the first of what they are already calling annual Porchfest events.
From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9, musicians will turn porch to stage on over a dozen front porches in Wayne. The featured bands are predominantly acoustic, although they cover a vast range of genres including singer-songwriter, rhythm and blues, and bluegrass. The event promises to be a unique blend of amateur and more professional bands, which I imagine will give the feel of both street music and coffee-house concerts.
Attending Porchfest is a great way to get off campus and check out the local art community. While many of us listen to music by ourselves, hearing live music turns a solitary activity into a shared experience of immeasurable value. Roy Ayers, well-beloved jazz vibraphonist and R&B bandleader, says of music, “The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers.” By investing in the art of a variety of individuals, the places hosting Porchfests are developing a strong and meaningful community.

      The students and faculty at Templeton Honors College are excited for the arrival of their new dean, Dr. Brian Williams. Williams is highly qualified for the position, with a diverse portfolio of academic experience in his background. After completing his undergraduate work in the United States, Williams went on to receive his M.A. and Th.M. in Systematic Theology in Vancouver at Regent College. From there he earned his D.Phil. and M.Phil. in Christian Ethics at Oxford as a Clarendon Scholar. His dissertation is titled, “The Moral Formation of the Intellectual Appetite in Hugh of St. Victor, Philip Melanchthon and John Henry Newman.” Currently, Williams is a lecturer and tutor at the University of Oxford for both undergraduate and graduate students. At Jesus College, Oxford, he tutors undergraduates in the subjects of theology and Oriental studies, as well as philosophy and theology, and he tutors both undergraduates and graduates in theology and religion.

      Along with his work at Jesus College, Williams is Director of Oxford Conversations. This video series features interviews from Christian academics and scholars at Oxford, including Sabina Alkire, Stephen Blundell, Dapo Akande, Nigel Biggar and many others. According to their website, Oxford Conversations aims “to inspire postgraduate students and younger academics to pursue excellence in academic research and to consider ways to integrate their work and Christian faith.”

      Williams’ research covers a wide array of topics. Several of these topics include: virtue ethics, Christian humanism, Dante Alighieri and Christian and Muslim political thought. He is currently working on an article on the neuroscience and sociology of character formation in “emerging adults” and an article on Karl Barth’s politics of christological co-humanity. He is also working as a researcher and investigator for a project entitled “Education and the Common Good.”

      In addition to his scholarly achievements and his impressive resume, Williams is well-loved by his students. In student reviews, many people mention his excellent help with essays, engaging style of discussion and obvious passion for the subjects he teaches. One of his undergraduate students at Oxford says, “Teaching with Brian is always very good. He is very passionate and always has a good mix of asking us questions and explaining concepts himself. His written feedback is also very good.”

      Several current students at Templeton Honors College had the opportunity to hear Williams give a presentation on classical education last semester and came away with positive impressions. One first-year student, Colin Burden, calls Williams “personable and genuine.” Another student, Jamie Bressmer, says, “He was very personable and seemed very comfortable in front of us even though we were new students to him. I felt like he was a professor I could go to to talk about class or life. He talked about classical education very passionately too, and he definitely knew what he was doing and loved it.” Eastern students and faculty are excited to join with Williams in the continuing pursuit of truth and learning in Templeton Honors College.
