Background
The National Lectureship of Churches of Christ is an annual lecture series that began in 1945 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma following Brother Richard Nathaniel (R.N.) Hogan's suggestion. As an influential preacher, educator, and writer, he aspired to connect congregations nationwide both with fellowship and through the teaching and preaching of the New Testament. With the help of Levi Kennedy, J. S. Winston, and G. E. Steward, the first National Lectureship of Churches of Christ occurred in the East Seventh Street Church of Christ with 36 people attending. With the Civil Rights Movement occurring during this time, the National Lectureship of Churches of Christ helped foster encouragement and unity among predominantly African American congregations and continues to do so, hosting thousands of attendees annually. Many prevalent Church of Christ preachers have been featured at the National Lectureship of Churches of Christ over the years, including Marshall Keeble.
