Giving talks in academic settings

I just gave a talk at University of Central Florida and in the Maitland Sports complex, both in the Orlando FL area. These two talks are my ideal of lecturing. One talk in a university class and another in a public setting. If every church would strive to find an undergraduate or graduate class for a lecturer to address and then have a public lecture, I think we would be truly fulfilling Mrs. Eddy’s vision for informing present and future generations about the theology and practice of Christian Science. Christian Science belongs in the academic community as well as the general public. I'm hoping that more lecture planning committees will develop contacts with philosophy, religion, sociology, etc. departments and consider adding a second academic talk along with their public talk.
