• Mahle Lecture in Progressive Christian Thought

  During our annual lecture series, we invite scholars and change makers who are actively working to transform society based, at least in part, on their spiritual and religious convictions. The Mahle Lecture is an opportunity to interact with these distinguished guests from around the world in a personal way.

  Contact Kelly Figueroa-Ray at kfigueroaray01@hamline.edu with questions.
