McKinney, director of Campbellsville University communications CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY -- Campbellsville University will present Carolyn Blevins, retired associate professor of religion and noted Baptist historian at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, TN, as the guest speaker for the university's Baptist Heritage Lecturer Series at 7:00pm ET Monday, February 27, 2007. The address, which is free to the public, will be in the Little Auditorium of the Student Union Building. "We are honored to have Professor Blevins on campus," Dr. Michael V. Carter, president, said. "Professor Blevins is well-known in the history of Baptist work, and she will provide insight that will be very interesting. We invite everyone to attend this very informative session." John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president, said that Campbellsville University's Baptist Heritage Lecture Series is a part of the university's Centennial Celebration which he chairs. "The mission of Campbellsville University's Baptist Heritage Lecture Series is to promote the study, discussion and research of Baptist historical events, theological distinctives, traditions and leaders that are unique and essential to understanding who Baptists are," Chowning said. "Professor Blevins is very knowledgeable and engaging as she discusses Baptist events. Her address will be especially appealing to church pastors and members throughout Taylor and surrounding counties. "We hope the community will attend and learn valuable Baptist heritage from Professor Blevins." Blevins taught at Carson-Newman College from 1976 to 2006.
