www.evansville.edu/religiouslife/perkins.cfm.
This year’s lecturer is the Rev. Alyce M. McKenzie, the George W. and Nell Ayers Le Van Professor of Preaching and Worship at Perkins School of Theology, the graduate school of theology of Southern Methodist University. Her lecture is titled, “Finding a Way in the Wilderness: Biblical Wisdom’s Good News in a Culture of Fake News.â€

The annual Perkins Theology Lectures, sponsored by UE’s Office of Religious Life, bring together religion scholars and church leaders to explore perennial theological questions about God and human flourishing. The lectures are intended to be public in nature: both furthering theological understanding and using theological insights to illuminate and interpret important features of our contemporary common life.
These lectures are made possible by the generosity of private donors and the Lilly Endowment, Inc., and are designed to generate and foster sustained theological reflection among UE students and alumni, clergy, and the larger community.
Rev. R. Wayne Perkins, professor emeritus of religion and ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, came to UE in 1966 as a faculty member in the Department of Philosophy and Religion. During his tenure at UE, he served as director of religious life, University chaplain, and chair of the department. Perkins was professor and mentor to thousands of UE students for over five decades. He advised countless students in their academic achievements and directed students in their ministry and vocational goals.
The annual R. Wayne Perkins Theology Lecture Series acknowledges his teaching and advising legacy, and honors his contribution to scholarship, the University of Evansville, the United Methodist Church, and the lives of students for over 50 years.
Raising Cancer Awareness by Wendy McNamara
Sadly, cancer is the second most common cause of death in the U.S.
To raise awareness about the importance of screenings and promote activities that reduce the risk of cancer, I joined my fellow legislators and paired my suit with my sneakers at the Statehouse.
Sponsored by the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the Suits and Sneakers challenge works to increase awareness and support for those affected by the disease.
This session, the Indiana House of Representatives took steps in fighting cancer in Indiana by unanimously voting in support of a proposal to reduce the number of Hoosier deaths resulting from cervical cancer.
Many of us have been personally impacted by cancer. Let’s come together to continue to fight this disease through awareness, prevention and treatment.
