About the Tippy McMichael Lecture Series
The Tippy McMichael Lecture Series explores a wide range of spiritual issues and features accomplished speakers from various disciplines and religious traditions.
Most events are structured as a two-day series with lectures on two different but related subjects. A Saturday evening lecture is followed by an Adult Forum presentation on Sunday Morning.
The series is an expression of thanksgiving to Clifton “Tippy” McMichael, a lifelong member of St. Paul’s and a strong-willed woman with an independent mind, and is funded by the St. Paul’s Permanent Endowment fund, which was created from Tippy’s planned gift of $1.5 million to St. Paul’s, “to enhance the life and work of the church.”
