The Henry H. and Marion A. Presler Lectureship was established to honor the couple’s missionary service and to inspire the 51ÊÓƵ Seminary community and its wider community about issues of global mission and the role of American denominations in their historical and present witness to mission. The topics of the lectures vary, but the overall theme is Jesus Christ’s commission to the church in Matthew 28:19–20, to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Dr. Henry Presler studied for two years at 51ÊÓƵ Seminary and then transferred to Boston University School of Theology.
