I -, Eternal Impressions Inspiring Speakers Taught And Shared With . Guests Of Lectureship The sixty-seventh annual Harding Lectureship centered on the theme "The Church of God in a Pagan World." The lectureship took place from September 30 to October 3 and featured speakers every day. People from 33 states and seven different countries gathered at Harding for the lectureship. Guests of Harding and the students were given a wide variety of events to attend during the four day lectureship. There were ten classes a day for everyone to attend. Along with these classes there were major theme lectures every day and night. Also, there was a special speaker during chapel services for the week. "The lectureship went well. I think attendance was good. We had people from everywhere here," said Dr. Don Shackelford, Church Relations Director. "We received several letters from individuals who expressed their appreciation for the lectureship and Harding. Six hundred people registered from out of town," said Shackelford. Special speakers during the lectureship included Landon Saunders, Evertt W. Huffard, Harold Hazelip, Jimmy Adcox, Ken Durham, Cline Paden, Ken Nellar, Jimmy Allen, and Nick Hamilton. The ladies classes also focused on the "Pagan World" theme as Joyce Hardin, Jeanene Reese, and Mona Mobley addressed topics such as the "Role of Women At Corinth and Today," "Servants in the Church," and "Perspectives of Wives of Elders, Preachers, and Missionaries." Students enjoyed attending the classes (as well as sharing their chapel seats with all the campus visitors) although there were not any classes designed especially for them. Shackelford, however, did comment, "We are already planning next year's lectureship and developing ideas. We want to include special classes geared solely towards the students. This year's lectureship was an enjoyable experience for all who participated and attended." - John Bossong MAKING A POINT. Harding's Paul Pollar, PhD. speaks on recent studies on I Corinthians.
