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.
