UA Lecture Series Follows European Missionaries
Four history scholars will trace the impact of Christian missionaries in other continents.
The University of Arizona's division for late medieval and reformation studies and St. Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church will host a series of four summer lectures titled “‘Make Disciples of all Nations’: European Christian Missionaries Reach into the World.”
This summer’s speakers will journey to the past, when European missionaries reached out to convert the world. Whether Catholic fathers in Latin America and Asia, or Swiss Reformed and Anglican in Africa, all sought to fulfill the dictum to “make disciples of all nations.”
Lectures will begin on Sundays at 10:15 a.m. on the dates listed at St. Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church.
