United Theological Seminary: Susan Draper White Lecture

Hajra Zaid • February 11, 2025

United’s 34th annual Susan Draper White Lecture will take place February 24th at 7:00 PM and feature Rev. Molly T. Marshall, PhD, United’s president. President Marshall’s lecture for this free event is titled “Battle for the Minds, Revisited.”

Thirty years ago, writer and producer Steve Lipscomb created his first documentary, Battle for the Minds, about the Southern Baptist Convention’s conservative shift and how that was affecting women pastors. Prominently featured in the film was a progressive, feminist professor of Christian theology, and experienced pastor, at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky: Dr. Molly T. Marshall. 

This year’s lecture will feature Rev. Dr. Marshall’s reflections on that pivotal episode in her professional and theological life and how the experience shaped the theologian and leader she has become, as United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities’ president. The evening will include a screening of the documentary along with Rev. Dr. Marshall’s remarks and reflections.
