The Don S. Browning Memorial Lectures

The Don S. Browning Memorial Lecture was founded in 2011 with generous gifts from friends and colleagues to honor the intellectual legacy of Don S. Browning (1934-2010). The lectures are informed by his founding scholarship in practical theology and religious ethics, and their application to marriage and family life.
