Greenhoe Lecture
Louisville Seminary hosts this annual event established in 1966 by MPC for Dr. Ted Greenhoe.
This year’s topic is “Beyond Divide & Conquer: Leading Toward a Shared Humanity” by Dr. Bryan L. Champion. The lecture is available to everyone online or in-person, but you must register online by October 25 at www.lpts.edu/2026greenhoe.
4:30 PM Reception | 6:00 PM Hybrid Lecture
Louisville Seminary Winn Center & Online
Free & open to the public
A very old military strategy used to win wars was referred to as “Divide and Conquer.” By separating individuals and groups, power was shifted due to the smaller groups lack of resources. In the context of present day culture, this same strategy is often deployed in order to unhinge relationships through inhumane methods that encourage exclusion, fear, lack of engagement, and conforming to the status quo.
This lecture will discuss how leaders use Emotional Intelligence to restore humanity and create a culture of “Congregational Safety” where everyone feels included, heard, and valued for their uniqueness.
Join Bryan L. Champion (D.Min. 2002) Professor of Public Sector Leadership (American University), Emotional Intelligence and Executive Organizational Leadership Development Expert for this thoughtful and timely conversation.
