LWC celebrates 103 year ties with United Methodists We have enjoyed an ongoing relationship with the church. God has blessed this place." - DR. LUCKEY By Emily Harlan, Lindsey Wilson College staff writer Lindsey Wilson College celebrated its relationship with The United Methodist Church on Wednesday, October 18, 2006, as it reaffirmed its commitment to higher education in the Christian tradition. The daylong celebration included a special campus chapel service, luncheon for local ministers and Christian ministries students, and an continuing education class for ministers. "Students are changed more by experience than information," Dean of the Chapel Terry Swan said a special chapel worship service held in V.P. Henry Auditorium. "Experience changes the will. To know of the love of God doesn't transform, but to know it, to experience it, changes everything. We offer students the chance to experience the reality of the love of God as revealed through Jesus Christ. This is necessary as part of our mission." Lindsey Wilson founded by Methodists in 1903 Lindsey Wilson was founded in 1903 by the Louisville Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Although the college has evolved over its 103-history into a liberal arts college with a nationally recognized graduate program in counseling, the college"s ties with Methodism have remained strong, Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey said. "We have enjoyed an ongoing relationship with the church," Luckey told a group of local ministers at the luncheon in Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center. "God has blessed this place. The (recent) opening of the Jim and Helen Lee Fugitte Science Center, the strong academic programs and student success attest to this fact." Begley Chapel, Sumner building strengthen Methodist ties Luckey said that Lindsey Wilson's ties to the church have grown even stronger over the last 10 years with the opening of the John B. Begley Chapel and Sumner Campus Ministries Center and the creation of the Christian ministries major. The Christian ministries major is now the second largest major on campus, Luckey said. And in 2008, those ties will become even stronger when Luckey assumes the presidency of the 123-member National Association of Schools and Colleges of the United Methodist Church. Luckey told the ministers that his 23 years of service to Lindsey Wilson, including the last eight as president, have been a blessing for him. "Many times, God worked through somebody else to open a door for me that I didnt know how to open," Luckey said. "God has given me ways to be at service at Lindsey Wilson College." During a continuing education session for area pastors and Christian ministries students, Lindsey Wilson Chancellor John B. Begley gave a message on the life lessons hes learned. Dr. Begley: We make no apology for being a Christian College Begley, who was a pastor for 17 years, said his ministry didnt end when he left the pulpit. He came to Lindsey Wilson in 1977 after serving for three years at a college in Nashville, Tenn. "I didnt leave the pastoral ministry because I was disillusioned," Begley said. "I still love the pastorate and pastors. Yet I feel good about my 32 years on campus and the lives I've seen transformed because we've shared with them the love of God as revealed through Jesus Christ." Begley said the lessons he's learned while in the church and higher education have led him to believe that a Christians primary mission is to share the love of God. "We make no apology for being a Christian college," Begley said. "Lindsey Wilson is here to show that love to students, and to serve their academic, social, cultural, spiritual and physical needs."
