The Richard E. and Anna Lee Hamilton Series on Theology and Contemporary Issues brings speakers, seminars, and special musical events to North UMC on various issues.
Please join us on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025, when the Hamilton Series will focus on minority women’s health.
The preacher for the worship services (8:30 and 11 a.m.) will be Bishop Tracy Smith Malone of the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church. Worship will also feature the women of the Cathedral Singers and members of the Indianapolis Women's Chorus presenting the world premiere of "The Song She Is Singing" by local composer Penny Rodriguez. The offertory anthem, "Song of Miriam" by Elaine Hagenberg, will be sung by members of the Indianapolis Women's Chorus.
A free luncheon and a keynote speech will follow the 11 a.m. worship service. The keynote speech will be delivered by Rev. Katey Zeh. Rev. Zeh is an ordained Baptist minister and the chief executive officer of the Religious Community for Reproductive Choice (RCRC). The Center for American Progress named her one of its "top justice-seeking faith leaders to watch" for her work on reproductive freedom.
Please RSVP for the free lunch by Friday, Nov. 7 by emailing [email protected].
The Hamilton series was established in 2018 with a gift from the William E. Schmidt Foundation. It honors the lives and ministries of Dick and Anna Lee Hamilton at North UMC. Dick served as the senior pastor at North from 1974 through 1997 and was known for his work in the city and state on issues of social justice and Christian action. Anna Lee was a talented partner in ministry, adding her singing, teaching, and leadership skills to the church and wider community.
Additional support for the Hamilton Series is provided by Nick and Susan Blankenbaker Noyes and the Blankenbaker family, as well as gifts from individuals in memory of Dick and Anna Lee. North UMC and the Hamilton family are very grateful for these generous gifts, and they hope the public will enjoy these events offered free of charge.
