Hayward Lectures
Established and endowed in 1964 by Mrs. C. C. Hayward of Wolfville, the Hayward Lectures provide academic dialogue in order to stimulate critical engagement and reflection on key and emerging ideas in Church History, Christian Theology, and Biblical Studies.
The Hayward Lectures advances its vision by inviting world-class scholars to Acadia in the aforementioned disciplines to address the community each October on their freshest work and emerging or disruptive ideas in the formats of lecture, conversation, and writing.

Simpson Lectures
The Simpson Lectures were established and endowed by Mr. Gerald Simpson of Deer Island, New Brunswick in order to provide an opportunity for distinguished scholar-practitioners to reflect with students, pastors, and interested laypeople on effective ministry practices for the current cultural context. The lectures generally take place on three evenings in mid-February and the three-day program also includes daytime seminars and worship experiences.
