Moravians and the Evangelical Question
(Walter Vivian Moses Lecture)

For this year’s Walter Vivian Moses Lecture, we welcome Dr. Jared Burkholder, Scholar in Residence, Moravian University School of Theology, to speak on “Moravians and the Evangelical Question.” The lecture series is named for the first dean of Moravian Theological Seminary, Bishop Walter Vivian Moses, and captures the deep history and theology of the Moravian Church. The event will be held on campus in Bethlehem with the option to join via Zoom.
