Rev. Dr. Jeffery L. Tribble, Sr. will be the distinguished speaker at the final lecture in a series of events for Martin Methodist College’s 2006-2007 academic year dealing with race relations and the Church. Dr. Tribble will speak about race relations and the Church from a Pan-Methodist perspective. The title of his presentation is: “Journeying Together in Christ Though Divided by Race.”

The lectures will be presented on Monday April 9, and Tuesday April 10, 7:00 p.m. in the Gallery of Colonial Hall, on the campus of Martin Methodist College. The event is free and open to all.

During the 2006-07 academic year, the Leadership Development Team, a group of students interested in leadership in The United Methodist Church, worshipped at Gordon Memorial UMC, Nashville; retraced the steps of the Civil Rights Movement in Selma and Montgomery, AL; and welcomed Bishop Woodie White, for a campus wide convocation on Religion and Race.
