Pittsburgh Theological Seminary will celebrate the life and legacy of long-time friend Dr. Glendora Paul '68 during an on-campus memorial service Dec. 17, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. All are invited to attend. Glendora died peacefully Oct. 23, 2012.
Glendora was a founding member and guiding spirit of the Seminary’s World Mission Initiative. Through her various volunteer roles with WMI, the Miller Summer Youth Institute, and international students, she touched many lives.
Glendora was born in a Christian village in North India. She came to the United States on a Fulbright grant and studied at Washington University. When she returned to India to teach in an international school in the South, she continued to seek God’s guidance for her life. Later she came back to the U.S. and earned her master’s degree from Pittsburgh Seminary followed by her doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh. Both Glendora and her late husband, Prodeep, became naturalized U.S. citizens.
In recognition of her dedication to the Seminary, Glendora was honored with the Distinguished Alumna Award and the John Anderson Award of Merit, the Seminary’s highest honor.
Watch as Glendora reflects on her early life and later ministry at Pittsburgh Seminary.
