Dr. Arlo and Mrs. Helen Newell created the Newell Lectureship in Biblical Studies in 1981 for the purpose of bringing a significant specialist in the field of biblical studies to Anderson University and the School of Theology and Christian Ministry on an annual basis. It is one of the longest running lecture series in the United States. Dr. Arlo Newell served the Church of God (Anderson, Ind.) for many years as a pastor, editor of Vital Christianity (the national periodical of the Church of God), a Church of God General Assembly officer, and author of numerous books and articles. Helen Newell also worked faithfully in the Church of God and in the Anderson community. She was a 1981 graduate of the Anderson University seminary with a Master of Religious Education. The Newell Lectures were created to honor Helen's work at the seminary and in the Church of God.
