Tickets for the 2027 Theology & Culture Lecture Go On Sale

We are delighted to announce that the inaugural lecture in this Distinguished Speaker Series will be offered by Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, former Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek, and Presidential Biographer.

On Saturday, February 27, 2027 at 2:00 P.M., Meacham will deliver a talk titled, “For God and Country: Reflections on Faith, Patriotism, and the Way We Live Now.” In a time when many in society are questioning the value and function of democracy, when the language of faith and language of politics are used interchangeably in government houses and houses of worship alike, and when the influence of a few far outpaces the influence and power of the many, this lecture will be both timely and relevant to those interested in history, politics, and living life as a person of faith.

Tickets for this event will go on sale Monday, November 9 at 8:00 A.M. Mark your calendars, as we expect this event to sell out! Admission is $25 for general admission, $10 for students. The event will be held on the San Marino Community Church campus at 2:00 P.M. live in the Sanctuary, with overflow to a live feed in our Fellowship Hall. Mr. Meacham will give an address, followed by a conversational response with Rev. Jessica Vaughan Lower and New York Times best-selling author, Rev. Dr. Ronald C. White. There will then be an opportunity for audience Q&A, and immediately following the event, attendees can enjoy a short reception and book signing.
