Kip Tiernan, founder of Rosie’s Place for Women, the Greater Boston Food Bank and Healthcare for the Homeless, will discuss A Social Activist’s Perspective as part of a new ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College lecture series, Spiritual Journeys: Stories of the Soul, at 4:30 p.m., Nov. 14, in the Benjamin Mays Center. The public is invited to attend free of charge.

“My background happens to be in public relations and advertising, and many years ago I was given the opportunity to promote another product, namely homeless women,” Tiernan told a commencement crowd last May upon receiving an honorary degree from Suffolk University.

The academic-year series features individuals who represent a variety of religious traditions, disciplines and professions such as psychology, dance, peace activism and education. Speakers lead participants through a brief encounter with a spiritual practice or experience that has been important in their own lives.

The next scheduled speaker is Czerny Brasuell, director of multicultural affairs at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College, who will discuss Paths to Enlightenment: An Embarrassment of Riches at 4:30 p.m. Jan. 13, in the Benjamin Mays Center.
