Lecture Series
Throughout its history, JWHA has sponsored a number of lecture series. Since 2008, the association has hosted the Wallace B. Smith Lecture each year at the spring religious studies symposium. Prior to the creation of the spring symposium, Spring Lectures were held prior to World Conferences of the Community of Christ.
From 1998 to 2011, the association sponsored a lecture series named in honor of Sterling M. McMurrin. Beginning in 2012, JWHA will host the Richard P. Howard Lecture at its fall history conference. Occasionally the association has sponsored a "Distinguished Senior Scholar Lecture."
In its early history, JWHA sponsored a lecture series at Graceland University, but the practice was discontinued in the 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the words lecture and/or series:
“I could lecture on dry oak leaves; I could, but who would hear me? If I were to try it on any large audience, I fear it would be no gain to them, and a positive loss to me. I should have behaved rudely toward my rustling friends.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
