This is a quick survey for anyone interested. I'm part of an eleven person
committee planning a lecture series and at this time looking for likely
candidates for 2004 and 2005.
Responses to me off the LISTSERV to avoid clutter please. I'll summarize
results later. I need comments by noon Sunday 4/7/2002.
Which three of four of the following list of noteworthies would you be most
likely to travel -- say -- 100 miles to hear? What comments about any of
them would you like to make.
Our last lecturer was Marcus Borg, who drew about 400 persons to hear him.
We have also had Richard Niebuhr, Robert McAfee Brown, Walter Wink, John
Spong and many others in the series which dates back to 1955. Name
recognition and speaking ability are key factors -- also the capability of
the speaker to offer spiritual growth to the audience.
