The Theological Responsibility of the Mainline Churches in the 1980s

Speaker(s): Calvin McConnell, Charles Milligan, Harvey Potthoff

Description: This presentation was made at The 1981 Iliff Week of Lectures. First, Bishop Calvin McConnell, on behalf of the Alumni Association, announces the creation of the "Harvey Potthoff Chair in Christian Theology" at Iliff. Then Dr. Charles Milligan presents a special issue of The Iliff Review in honor of Dr. Potthoff. At 22:46, Potthoff begins his forward-thinking, postive, and rather progressive presentation. Dr. Harvey Henry Potthoff (1911–2002) was an influential United Methodist minister, professor, and prominent process theologian. He dedicated his life to integrating the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead into Christian thought, significantly shaping the spiritual and intellectual development of multiple generations of students and clergy.
