The G.W. and Edna Haworth Chair of Educational Ministries and Leadership was initially established in 1999 as the G.W. and Eddie Haworth Professor of Christian Education. Dr. George Brown held the chair from 1999 until his retirement. It is being re-established as a chair that will be held by the Dean and Vice-President of Academic Affairs of Western Theological Seminary.
