MALIBU, Calif. — The 71st Pepperdine Bible Lectures are underway here in sunny (and hot, and dry) southern California. 

Dyron Daughrity, a religion professor here at Pepperdine University, and I just completed our two-part presentation, detailing the feedback we’ve received to The Christian Chronicle’s four-part survey on Churches of Christ. (We’re still collecting responses and will be reporting on the results in an upcoming issue of the Chronicle.)

The lectures continue through May 2. If you can’t make it here to Malibu, you can tune in to keynote sessions, offered live through the university’s website.
