As many of you are aware, BULLI launched its silver anniversary lecture series this year in honor
of our 25th anniversary. Members and community guests alike have been generous in their praise for the speakers and interest in the topics discussed. One of our own members, Wylie Bradley, delivered the most recent lecture in the series. Those present were the beneficiaries of Wylie’s professional expertise as he discussed the architecture and construction of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
When Wylie began the discussion by mentioning that the Gothic style Notre Dame Cathedral was built between the years 1163 and 1345, a span of 182 years and 10 generations, it reminded me of a theme addressed in a book I once used to foster dialogue among undergraduate students. Bill Shore, an early pioneer in the field of social entrepreneurship, penned an interesting read titled The Cathedral Within: Transforming Your Life by Giving Something Back. At 18 and 19 years old, many students are driven by passion and a sense of idealism for a cause in which they believe. The Cathedral
Within made for an excellent segue into teaching about leading change.
Bill vividly described ways in which social entrepreneurs tapped into resources to improve public life. He likened this new brand of visionary entrepreneur, who wants to make the most of life and do something that counts, to “cathedral builders of an earlier time, who combined imagination, invention and faith to build something
both magnificent and lasting.” Guided by a vision, generations of trade workers and common laborers worked in community to build a magnificent structure. And, along the way, each generation had to adapt to the resources and challenges of the time while remaining true to the original mission and transformational vision.

WE INVITE YOU TO BECOME A PART OF THE BULLI FAMILY.
Welcome to BUllIOver 25 years ago, a group of Hall County residents gathered in the Wilson Room of the John W. Jacobs Jr. Building
to talk about the idea of a lifelong learning program at Brenau. The group included local visionaries and business leaders, lifelong Gainesville residents and individuals who were new to the area.
Some of the attendees had visited lifelong learning programs in other places. Others had attended Elderhostel programs throughout the country and had experienced firsthand the benefits of lifelong learning. All of them, however, were dedicated to the idea of creating a unique opportunity for learning at Brenau University.
From their dedication, BULLI was born.

FORGIVENESS IN LITERATURESix sessions – Cost $40 9:30-10:50 a.m.
Gandhi said, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.” We all know the importance of forgiveness, but do we know how to forgive? In this course, we’ll explore the ways in which forgiveness is treated in
literature through the ages, with the goal of understanding its power. Using a variety of literary works from Sophocles to Jodi Picoult, we’ll see how forgiveness has many dimensions, including social, personal and spiritual. We’ll tackle some hard questions: Are there acts that are unforgivable? Can we forgive without forgetting? How can forgiveness work with accountability? During our journey, we’ll encounter plays, poems, essays, novels and short stories. You won’t have to do much reading to get a lot out of the course. Bring a curious mind and an open heart, and you will learn about literature, the human condition and maybe a little something about yourself.
Dr. Bill Coates holds a Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of South Carolina. Denise Lee holds a B.A. and an M.A. in English and has completed coursework for a doctorate in adult education.

I witnessed this same visionary entrepreneur attribute in one of BULLI’s founding members, Brenda Layne. Brenda was also a founding member and leader of the BULLI Hiking Club. Her impact on BULLI and BULLI members through the years has been tremendously influential. Current Hiking Club members recently surprised Brenda with a 90th birthday celebration following their Silver Anniversary Hike on the Brenau University historic campus.
Brenda and her founding BULLI colleagues were very much like first-generation cathedral builders. They were visionaries, stirred by an intellectual curiosity and a common passion for learning. They laid the foundation of BULLI and subsequent members contributed to the mission and transformational vision of BULLI
by continuing to develop quality lifelong learning opportunities for adults in Greater Hall County.
Through the years, BULLI has adapted to changing times while remaining true to its original mission and vision. You have probably noticed recent changes to the BULLI website to improve our member online experience. You will also notice that the length of BULLI classes, beginning with the spring term, are now eighty minutes to coincide with the Brenau academic class schedule and make it easier to schedule classroom space.
Soon, we will be entering into a strategic planning process for BULLI to map out how we move forward the BULLI vision of our founders. We will remain true to our mission, adapting to the times and in preparation for the next generation BULLI member. Just like cathedral builders carried the vision from one generation to the next, BULLI is the same.
Cathedral, from page 1
do magistrate and probate courts do? What’s a drug court? What’s the work of prosecutors and public defenders? As these questions are answered, you’ll hear some interesting stories along the way, told by some who were and are at the center of our court systems, protecting the rights and freedoms we often take for granted.
Dr. Bill Coates will host this class.
GREAT DECISIONS 2020Six sessions – Cost $40 2-3:20 p.m.
Since 1954, the Great Decisions Program has encouraged discussion and debate about the important global challenges of our time. We’ll use video and written materials provided by the Foreign Policy Association to discuss and reach informed opinions about this year’s topics: climate change and the global order, India and Pakistan, Red Sea security, modern slavery and
human trafficking, U.S. relations with the Northern Triangle, China’s road into Latin America, The Phillipines and the U.S., and artificial intelligence and data. Class participants will choose six topics from the preceding list to discuss.
Robin Terrell holds a B.S. in chemistry and an M.A. from Oxford University, U.K., and an MBA from INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France. He has lived and worked in the U.K., France, Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, Japan and the United States.
WHY DO THEY CALL THIS “ART”?Six sessions – Cost $40 3:30-4:50 p.m.
So much of art history leaves the untrained viewer at a loss. We have all experienced an empty or confused feeling knowing there must be more, something we don’t know that has brought this piece to this level of
attention deserving inclusion in this collection. The intent of this class is to help the viewer feel more informed and equipped to enjoy many more works of art. Classes focus on learning to critique and appreciate difficult-to-understand pieces from all historical periods. We will ask lots of questions and research the backgrounds of artists and periods in which they worked to look for clues. What were they thinking? What were they feeling? Why do they call this “art”?
Judy Bynum George is a modern impressionist painter with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in art and art education. She has taught at Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana; Louisiana State University in Alexandria, Louisiana; and Truett-McConnell University in Cleveland, Georgia. She has also taught painting for the Helen Arts Center, Sautee-Nacoochee Community Center and the Quinlan Visual Arts Center.
If severe weather is predicted, you will need to watch the news or listen to the radio for school closings. BULLI does not follow Brenau University closings.
Since we have students coming from a number of outlying areas, BULLI classes are canceled when Hall County Schools are closed.

Students should be willing to share their writings in various developmental stages as they push for the clarity of a finished product.
