The Zan W. Holmes, Jr. African Heritage Lecture Series, established in 1987 by Pastor Emeritus Zan W. Holmes, Jr. is a time of learning, celebration, and reflection on “who we are and whose we are”.
In keeping with the tradition of brilliant scholars, preachers, and theologians, this year’s guest lecturer, is Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas, the associate professor of Ethics and Society at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Her scholarly research, Christian witness and social activism have made her a highly sought after lecturer and scholar as evidenced by her engagements throughout the United States as well as in West Africa, Egypt, England, France, Israel, and Japan.
