Women in church history specialist Carolyn Blevins will present this year’s Marie NeSmith Fowler lecture at Samford University Tuesday, March 23, at 10 a.m. in Reid Chapel. The public is invited free of charge.
Blevins, retired religion professor at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tenn., will speak on the topic, “Christianity’s Double Message.”
Also a specialist in Baptist history, Blevins is the author of numerous articles and publications on topics related to women in religion and Christian history. A graduate of Carson-Newman, she holds a master’s degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky.
The lecture series, sponsored by Samford’s Christian Women’s Leadership Center, honors the late Mrs. Fowler. A Samford graduate and longtime Hartselle, Ala., resident, she was one of the first female pharmacists and pharmacy owners in Alabama.
