Aldeen professor of international studies and professor of mission
and anthropology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, as well as
the current president of the Evangelical Missiological Society and

covers multiple disciplines including theology, anthropology,
sociology, and ecclesiology. In his lectureship this month, Dr.
Priest will cover three topics: “Sex and Marriage: old Patterns and
New” at 9 a.m. in the Hargrove Chapel Auditorium, “The Value of
Missiology for Christian Leaders in Changing Cultures of Sex and
Marriage” at noon in Restoration Hall’s Dowling Auditorium and
“Tough Questions, Possible Futures, Current Priorities” at 2 p.m. in
Dowling Auditorium.
Every other spring, LCU’s Seminary Lectureship invites speakers that
focus on the various disciplines represented in the Seminary such as
theology, psychology, Christian education, intercultural studies,
history or other areas. The public is welcome to attend any or all
of these lectures.
