Baptist Joint Committee Executive Director J. Brent Walker will deliver the 2013 Walter B. and Kay W. Shurden Lectures on Religious Liberty and Separation of Church and State. The 8th annual series will be held April 9-10 on the campus of Stetson University in DeLand, Fla. Walker earned his law degree from the Stetson University College of Law.
In 2004, the Shurdens of Macon, Ga., made a gift to the Baptist Joint Committee to establish the annual lectureship. Designed to enhance the ministry and programs of the BJC, the lectures are held at Mercer University in Macon, Ga., every three years and at another seminary, college or university the other years.
Walker will present three lectures over the course of two days, which will be free and open to the public. For the latest information, visit www.BJConline.org/lectures.
