McPherson Lecture Series

Each year The Salvation Army Training College sponsors the McPherson Lecture Series. They are named in honour of Lt Colonel Milford McPherson who was the training principal of the college around 60 years ago. He was renowned for his spiritual leadership. To that end, each year, the college brings to Australia a renowned Spiritual leader to speak to us about matters of importance.

This year's guest, speaking on Saturday night at Arndale Corps, is Commissioner Christine McMillan. She is currently the head of The Salvation Army's international social justice department, based in New York, and part of our team that interacts with the United Nations on global issues of concern. She will be speaking on 'Caring for People'.

On Saturday a book named Mission Mandates will also be released. It is a transcript of the four most recent McPherson Lectures covering topics such as Making Disciples, Reforming Society and Transforming Lives. Commissioner Stuart Mugate and General Paul Radar are among the contributers. I'm sure it will be worth checking out.
