(VIDEO) Salute to Retiring Head of Lilly Endowment-Religion Division, Rev. Dr. Craig Dykstra
RELIGION ETHICS WEEKLY
By Bob Abernathy
Finally, something we almost never do here: report on a friend and benefactor on the occasion of his retirement. Since this program first went on the air 15 years ago, the Lilly Endowment of Indianapolis has been our principal funder. The head of the Endowment’s religion division has been Craig Dykstra, who is retiring from Lilly this summer. Dykstra’s friends say the Endowment’s grants and Dykstra’s personal religious convictions have had a profound influence on thousands of Christian believers and have helped restore vigor to many congregations, especially in the Protestant Mainline. Dr. Dykstra is returning next year to his first love: teaching—at the Duke University Divinity School. [link]
