The Carr Lecture
2012 Carr Lecture
Dr. Gail O’Day, dean and professor of New Testament and preaching at Wake Forest University’s School of Divinity, presented the Joseph M. Carr Lecture at the University of Mount Union on March 29.
O’Day’s lecture, Friendship as a Christian Practice: Embodying Jesus’ Love in an Anxious World, focused on how friendship is portrayed in the Gospel of John and how to carry friendship on in the world. There seems to be a focus on friendship in the secular world, O’Day said. Read more.
