Steelman Lectures

The Margaret A. Steelman Lectures were endowed in 1998 with a gift from Dr. Stanford L. Steelman in honor of his wife,  Margaret A. Steelman, and to establish a legacy at the newly established School of Divinity at Wake Forest University. The Steelmans were originally from Hickory and returned there to retire in 1988.  Dr. Steelman spent 28 years with Merck Research Laboratories in New Jersey.  His career as a biochemist was distinguished with hundreds of scientific articles and five patents.  They were active members of First Baptist Church, Hickory, NC. This lectureship provides funding for prominent lecturers of Judeo-Christian theology.

2011

In 2011, the School of Divinity welcomed Dr. William Schweiker, Director of the Martin Marty Center and Edward L. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor of Theological Ethics at the University of Chicago Divinity School. The address was titled, “Are Religious Convictions Bad for the Planet?.”
