Founder’s Day, 2009

UPDATE (6 May 2009): The local media picked up the Founder’s Day story and published pieces in the Lincoln Courier as well as the Lincoln Daily News (LDN story and photos).

Today marks the school’s celebration of its 65th anniversary.  On May 4, 1944, Earl C. Hargrove obtained a charter from the State of Illinois to establish Lincoln Bible Institute in Lincoln, Illinois.  To commemorate the occasion, Tuesday morning’s chapel service featured a brief message and an 11-minute “65-point” video by Dr. Tom Tanner.  In addition, Tom has written a book entitled Verses and Voices that tells the story of Lincoln from its founding to today.  That book (plus the DVD of the 65 point history) is available today and can be ordered through the web site.  Dr. Tanner was interviewed on Episode 025 of the Inside LCCS podcast–you can hear more of his backstory in that interview.

President Dr. Keith Ray also announced that the school will be changing its name from Lincoln Christian College and Seminary to Lincoln Christian University.  Dr. Ray has written a white paper (PDF) reflecting on the name change as well as a “frequently asked questions” document (PDF) to help explain the reasons for the change.

Dr. Ray will be featured on the next episode of the podcast.  He will explain some of the school’s challenges of the last few years and discuss the name change as well.  Look for that podcast here tomorrow.
