The annual McClure lectures honor the Rev. Dr. W. Don McClure, a 1934 graduate
of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, who served as a missionary in Africa for
nearly fifty years. Born in Blairsville, PA, in 1906, Don McClure began teaching
in Khartoum in 1928, upon graduation from Westminster College, PA. After study
at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, he returned with his wife, Lyda, to Sudan to
evangelize among the Shulla people. McClure's years in Africa spanned dugout
canoes to jet boats. His missionary pilgrimage covered an arc through Sudan and
Ethiopia equal to the distance between Pittsburgh and Dallas. After retirement,
he continued as a volunteer at Gode, Ethiopia, until he was shot to death by
guerrillas on March 27,1977.
