Westminster College Welcomes Christy Lecturer Feb. 25

The Rev. Dr. Jeffrey F. Bullock, vice president and dean of the seminary of the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, will give the 14th annual Christy Lecture Sunday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. in Wallace Memorial Chapel on the campus of Westminster College.

Bullock will focus on "Christian Freedom in an Age of Abundance." He has been active in the area of church revitalization and redevelopment, and now is attempting to integrate those passions into the world of theological education.

He has authored three books and numerous articles and chapters, in addition to his teaching and preaching duties. His research interests include post-modernism and new homiletical theory and practice, contemporary hermeneutical theory and practice, homiletical theory and practice, philosophy of communication and classical-contemporary rhetorical theory and practice.

Bullock received his undergraduate degree at Seattle Pacific University, his masters at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and University of Washington, and his Ph.D. from the University of Washington.

The Wayne H. Christy Lecture Series annually honors Dr. Wayne H. Christy, who was a long-time faculty member and chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Westminster College. The program seeks out men and women who distinguish themselves by relating religion to issues of contemporary life.

The event is free and open to the public. A reception, sponsored by the Office of Church Relations and the Shenango Presbytery, will be held immediately after the lecture in the narthex of the Chapel.
