The Ring Lecture Series – Sponsored by the Holy Trinity Episcopal Foundation and funded by its Dr. Alfred A. Ring Endowment, this yearly lecture series brings notable religious thinkers and authors to Gainesville for public speaking engagements. The 2025 Ring Lecture Series will feature author and religious historian Elaine Pagels for a 7 p.m. Friday, February 21 lecture on Gnosticism in early Christian history (with reception afterwards) and a 1 p.m. Saturday, February 22 lecture on the origins of Satan. Both lectures will take place in the church, free of charge and open to the public.
We are looking forward to collaborating with the Alachua County Community Remembrance Project (ACCRP) and the NAACP on a series of lectures about black history in Alachua County, The Other Book: Black History in Alachua County. Our members, Jackie Davis and Ron Nutter, have been working with Dr. Rick Stevenson, UF Professor of African American Studies, to complete this excellent series of lectures in various locations. The information about this series is here. We are encouraging UCG members to attend and support this unique opportunity within our community! We believe that we still have more to understand about our racial history. Deeper insight will strengthen us all.
