Greensboro College Invites Rev. Dr. Amy Peeler for Annual Ward Lecture
Greensboro, NC (04/03/2023) — Greensboro College's annual Jean Fortner Ward Lecture, featuring author, professor, and scholar, Rev. Dr. Amy Peeler, will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 13, in Hannah Brown Finch Memorial Chapel.
The event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available behind the college's Admissions Welcome Center at West Market Street and College Place.
Rev. Dr. Peeler's lecture is titled, "Women, God, and The Benefits of Theological Education for All."
The world of the Bible may seem quite distant from the world we inhabit today, but in many spaces, particularly religious ones it wields considerable influence. The provocative story at the center of Christian faith, that God invites a young woman to bear and raise the Son of God, offers a rich account of the character of the Christian God as well as fresh insights for contemporary discussions concerning adequate representation in theological spaces.
The Jean Fortner Ward Lecture Series was initiated in 1964 to bring outstanding speakers and lectures to the Greensboro College campus to address connections between faith and higher education. This series is made possible through the generosity of the late William S. Ward of Greensboro in honor of his wife, an alumna and former trustee of the college.
Greensboro College provides a liberal arts education grounded in the traditions of the United Methodist Church and fosters the intellectual, social, and, spiritual development of all students while supporting their individual needs.
Founded in 1838 and located in downtown Greensboro, the college enrolls about 1,000 students from 29 states and territories, the District of Columbia, and seven foreign countries in its undergraduate liberal-arts program and six master's degree programs. In addition to rigorous academics and a well-supported Honors program, the school features a 17-sport NCAA Division III athletic program and dozens of service and recreational opportunities.
