In an online lecture, Tony Chvala-Smith zoomed in on a social reform movement that influenced the man behind our Lamoni campus library.
In the annual Community of Christ Historic Sites Spring Lecture Series, Paul E. Morden Seminary Chair & Associate Professor of Religion Anthony Chvala-Smith, PhD gave an online lecture, to which over 200 participants logged in. The lecture was titled Facing Modernity: Fred M. Smith and the Theology of the Social Gospel Movement.
Frederick Madison Smith was the third president of the Community of Christ. In his lecture, Chvala-Smith showed how President Smith was indebted at many points to Walter Rauschenbusch (1861-1918), chief articulator of the theology of the progressive Protestant Social Gospel Movement.
The library on the Lamoni campus of Graceland University was named after Frederick Madison Smith.
