Charles Franklin Finch Lecture Series

The Charles Franklin Finch Lecture series at HPU dates back to 1960, and it is a yearly endowed lectureship. The purpose of the Charles Franklin Finch lecture is “to foster dialogue and to deepen understanding regarding issues of importance to communities of faith.”

 

In the Spring 2014 semester, we are excited to host Dr. Charles Mathewes, Carolyn M. Barbour Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia, on March 27th at 6 PM in the Wilson Ballroom for a lecture and conversation. Dr. Mathewes will talk about the different approaches to religious ethics among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, in keeping with the University’s year-long emphasis on diversity.
