Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter will deliver Mercer’s second President’s Lecture Series address on the Macon campus Oct. 23 at 3 p.m. The address, which will cover themes from President Carter’s best-selling book, Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis, will be held in Willingham Auditorium.
The President’s Lecture Series brings leading thinkers to Mercer whose ideas and viewpoints intersect with the University’s mission as a faith-based institution of higher learning. The programs are designed to promote Mercer’s core principles of religious and intellectual freedom and respect for religious diversity while generating reflection and conversation on issues of importance.
The lecture series was inaugurated in April 2007 with an address by Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health and author of the best-selling book The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief.
