McKinney, director of university communications Dr. William Brackney, distinguished professor of Christian theology and ethics at Acadia Divinity College in Canada, will be the Baptist Heritage Series lecturer at Campbellsville University Monday, March 3, 2008. Dr. Brackney's address is at 7:00pmET in the classroom of Ransdell Chapel. His topic is "Tradition is Not All Bad, Even for Baptists!" The public is invited to his presentation. Dr. Brackney will also be appearing on John Chowning's Dialogue on Public Issues broadcast that is shown on CU's TV 4/Cable Channel 10. "We are honored and thrilled to have Dr. Brackney visit our campus," John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president at Campbellsville University, said. "Dr. Brackney is one of the leading Baptist historians of this era. He is a highly commended and sought after lecturer, and he will provide insight that will be very interesting. We invite everyone to attend this very informative session." Rev. Chowning said 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. Other Baptist Heritage Series speakers have included Dr. Morgan Patterson, visiting scholar at CU and noted Baptist historian; Carolyn Blevins, retired professor and Baptist historian; and David Coffey, Baptist World Alliance president. Dr. Brackney has served at Acadia since July 2006. He brought a wealth of scholarly, ministry and administrative experience to his appointment as the first Millard R. Cherry Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology and Ethics at Acadia. Previously, Dr. Brackney taught at Houghton College, Colgate Rochester Divinity School and Eastern Baptist Seminary where he held the chair in the history of Christianity that his mentor, Norman H. Maring, had occupied. Dr. Brackney was vice president and dean at Eastern, later becoming the principal of McMaster Divinity College in 1988. At McMaster, he assumed the professorial rank of professor of historical theology. As a member of the faculty of theology he was dean of the university faculty. Dr. Brackney's work was soon recognized in the Toronto School of Theology where he was elected a member of both the historical and theological area faculties of graduate studies at TST. In 2000, Brackney became the chair of the department of religion at Baylor University and an adjunct faculty member of the George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor. He began the program in Baptist studies at Baylor that eventually produced a dozen doctoral graduates. For many years, Dr. Brackney has been a student of post-Reformation Protestant Thought, including the life and thought of the Baptists and the Radical Reformation. Dr. Brackney has also done major work in the area of human rights and global ethics from a Free Church perspective, producing the five volume Human Rights and the World's Major Religions. In Canada he has served on the national boards of the Canadian Council of Churches, the Church's Council on Theological Education, the Canadian Bible Society and InterVarsity Canada. He is an ordained Baptist minister who frequently serves in pastoral ministry, most recently, the Blue Ridge Baptist Church in Falls County, Texas, fifth oldest in the state. Dr. Brackney's graduate students include professors at colleges and theological schools as well as an array of missionaries and pastors in various denominations. He has mentored over 30 doctoral theses and dissertations and is currently heavily invested in the M.A. program at Acadia. Dr. Brackney is married to Kathryn, an artist.
