Inauguration Worship service and the Edgar M. McKown Address

The inauguration worship service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 3, 2019 in Neu Chapel on the University of Evansville campus.

The 2019 Edgar M. McKown Address will be given during the worship service by Bishop Julius C. Trimble of the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church.

The Edgar M. McKown address is made possible through an endowment from the late Edgar M. McKown, PhD. McKown was a professor of Bible and philosophy at Evansville College from 1936-1969, dean from 1941-1962, and director of religious life from 1962-1966. He loved teaching and during his years as dean he continued to teach. For many years McKown was chair of the South Indiana UMC Annual Conference Board of Ministerial Training and Qualifications. He was a founder of the Weekday Religious Education Program of Evansville. A major purpose of his life was to increase knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith and commitment to that faith.
