JD NORTHEY LECTURES
In memory of distinguished theological educator and leader Rev J D Northey, the Congregational Union of Victoria established a fund to “enable theologians to travel to Melbourne.”
Pilgrim is delighted to be able to continue the role of inviting visitors who can enrich our local theological conversation and, in the particular terms of the bequest: “open out theological learning for the enjoyment of more and more people.”
Rev J D Northey was ordained into the Congregational Union of South Australia in 1916 and continued to offer service in ministry until 1971.
- President of the Congregational Union of Victoria
