From the venue:
Join Candler’s Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement for a McDonald Lecture with Brian K. Blount, the 2024-2025 Alonzo L. McDonald Family Chair on the Life and Teachings of Jesus and Their Impact on Culture.
The lecture will be presented in person with an online viewing option available.
