Summer Lecture Series: Dr. John Wells

Dr. Wells will share a presentation titled, “The Limits of Secularism.” In the last decade, “nones,” or those who express no religious affiliation, are on the rise. We will examine this phenomenon and ask the questions: is America losing its religion or is it being religious differently? What do we stand to lose as a society if we no longer share a common moral framework? How might the UMC adapt to this changing reality? Dr. Wells became the twenty-second president of Emory & Henry College on July 1, 2019 after having served as the chief academic officer at three higher education institutions.
