McClain's lecture Beyond the Wardrobe: Using the Imagination to Form the Spiritual Lives of Children will be drawing on his research in the areas of youth work, children's literature, and theology.
Peter Slade, chair of the Religion Department explained the choice of this year’s lecturer. “We invited Dan to speak because the spiritual formation of children and students was of central importance in the lives and ministries of Don and Jan Rinehart."
