American Baptist College invites alumni and friends of the college to a rich dialogue on contemporary social issues during its 56th Annual Garnett-Nabrit Lecture Series, March 18-21.
The 2013 Garnett Nabrit Lecture Series is designed for the kingdom conscious minister who has a desire in excelling and delivering practical healing to his/her church and community.
This year’s theme “There is a Balm in Gilead” speaks to those who are engaged in the daily, theological work of reassuring the masses of the healing possibilities of God.
Some of the lecturers who will speak at the conference are Dr. Howard-John Wesley, Dr. Marvin McMickle, Dr. Lance Watson, Dr. Carolyn Knight and many others. Early Registration will be $175.00 for the conference. Worship services are free to all.
Unlike other colleges American Baptist celebrates “homecoming” by students, faculty and staff joining together to witness scholars and experts speak on how to tackle pertinent issues in our world.
The Garnett-Nabrit Lecture Series is named in honor of James Henry Garnett and James Madison Nabrit.
Garnett was a teacher of Systematic Theology and New Testament Greek at American Baptist Theological Seminary from 1924 to 1938. He served as the seminary’s dean from 1927 to 1939 and a portion of that time, from 1930 to 1932, he provided leadership as the acting president.
James Madison Nabrit was president of American Baptist Theological Seminary from 1936 to 1944. His eight-year tenure advanced the institution and brought forth the development of the National Baptist Training School for Christian Workers.
Garnett and Nabrit are landmarks in the legacy of great leadership provided to American Baptist College.
Their example of innovation and integrity are recognized annually through the Garnett-Nabrit Lecture Series.
Full registration for the conference can be accessed online.
