Calvin and Nancy Ross have endowed this lectureship as their legacy for the pastoral work of the church and to honor the memory of Calvin’s parents, Walter and Mardel Ross, and more recently, Nancy’s father, Frank S. Smith. They hope to create interdisciplinary conversations for effective teamwork among ministers, students, educators, laity, medical practitioners, and peace and justice advocates.
