The Fugit lecture series took place on Tuesday and Thursday during the chapel and convocation services as a part of Milligan’s commitment to Christian education.

Presented by Kay Moll, director of Vacation Bible School for Standard Publishing, and underwritten by Gerald and Bette Fugit, sponsors of Milligan College, the series focused on the Christian church. More specifically, Moll spoke on the heritage of one of today’s fastest growing fellowship of churches and what that heritage means to the church in the 21st century.

The Bette Montgomery Fugit Lectures were established in 2004 by the Fugits to explore the future of the Restoration Movement churches. This year the lectures focused on the church and what God wants it to be and to do.

Milligan College President Donald Jeanes stated the link between the Restoration Movement and Milligan. “Throughout its history, Milligan has maintained an active relationship to the Restoration Movement and a commitment to the restoration of New Testament Christianity,” said Jeanes.

Moll was chosen by Jeanes and Dr. Marshall Leggett, former Milligan president and the presenter of last years Fugit lecture series, to present this year’s lectures,.

“This year at the Fugits request we decided to invite a female,” said Jeanes. “Dr. Leggett and I concerned that Kay Moll would be our first choice. She spoke last year on campus and was very well received. She is one of the few women in the Christian church who speaks for events such as the Fugit lecturers.”

Moll is a graduate of Johnson Bible College and the University of Tennessee. From 1972 through 1979 she served as a missionary in Zambia teaching Bible classes in the public school system and working with young people in the local churches. From 1980 to 1991 she worked as the director of operations with Good News Productions International in Joplin, Mo. Moll went on to serve as director of women’s ministries at Sunnybrook Christian Church in Stillwater, Okla.

Moll currently works for Standard Publishing in Cincinnati, Ohio.
