Catharine Padilla Lecture

Mrs. Catharine Padilla (standing on the right side of the picture) lectured at Boston University School of Theology on 27 February on the topic of the needs for theological education in Latin America. Currently, one of the most pressing needs is for the production and distribution of quality literature for use in Chris- tian education. Mrs. Padilla called attention to the Kairos Foundation, which seeks to address this need in the region. Approximately thirty people were in attendance at the lecture, many of whom were students in Dr. Dana Robert’s classes.
