Richard Cowan to deliver BYU devotional address April 3

The devotional will be broadcast live on the BYU Broadcasting channels. For rebroadcast information, visit byubroadcasting.org.

Cowan’s topic will be “Preparing for That Which is to Come.”

Cowan joined the BYU Religious Education faculty after receiving a doctoral degree in history from Stanford University. His other service has included chairing a committee that prepared gospel doctrine lessons for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1981-1983, heading the Church History and Doctrine Department from 1994-1997 and teaching at the BYU Jerusalem Center.
