Lecture Series
Throughout its history, JWHA has sponsored a number of lecture series. Since 2008, the association has hosted the Wallace B. Smith Lecture each year at the spring religious studies symposium. Prior to the creation of the spring symposium, Spring Lectures were held prior to World Conferences of the Community of Christ.
From 1998 to 2011, the association sponsored a lecture series named in honor of Sterling M. McMurrin. Beginning in 2012, JWHA will host the Richard P. Howard Lecture at its fall history conference. Occasionally the association has sponsored a "Distinguished Senior Scholar Lecture."
In its early history, JWHA sponsored a lecture series at Graceland University, but the practice was discontinued in the 1990s.
