Campbell Lectures History In memory of Bob Campbell, former CEO of PPL and community leader, the Committee on Ecumenism of the Lehigh County Conference of Churches has established these annual lectures to focus specifically on Christian unity.
Held annually since 1993, the purpose of the Robert K. Campbell Memorial Lectures on Christian Unity is to encourage Christian unity within the faith community in the Lehigh Valley. Established by the Lehigh Conference of Churches in 1990, this endeavor has tremendoursly fostered the greatest cooperation possible among diverse religious perspectives and dialogue about religious issues of major importance tothe community. Additionally, the lectureship has drawn public attention to the subject of Christian unity and its potential for addressing some of the major problems facing society today.
As Chief Executive Officer of the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company, Bob was not only a leader in the corporate world, but he was highly regarded as a community leader, a huminatarian, and a person who actively lived his faith. He encouraged the religious communities to wrok together to assist local people in need. Concretely ecumencial, Mr. Campbell was an active Presbyterian while his wife and family are active Roman Catholics.
His passion led to the creation of Alliance Hall, a unique partnership of non-profit, faith-based and governmental agencies, which houses the LehighCounty Conference of Churches, Lehigh Valley Childcare, the Allentown Health bureau and the Housing Association and Development Corporation apartments for the disabled.
