Glick pursued graduate studies at Bethany Theological Seminary and the University of Chicago Divinity School. After receiving his doctorate at Chicago, he became a professor of religion and philosophy at Juniata College and then at Franklin and Marshall College where in the early 1960s he became dean of faculty and acting president. While in Lancaster, he was active in the Civil Rights Movement, participating in the Selma to Montgomery march with the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. From 1966-1974, Glick was president of Keuka College in western New York State, leaving there to become director of the Moton Center for Independent Studies. In 1978, Glick became president of Bangor Theological Seminary in Maine.
Wayne Glick was the author of “The Reality of Christianity: A Study of Adolph Harnack as Historian and Theologian", a book of religious poetry, “Songs for My God", and “Barbara", a book of poetry for his beloved wife.
Wayne and Barbara retired to Lancaster in 1986 where he was an active member of the Lancaster Church of the Apostles and served on the Board of the Fund for Theological Education. In retirement, he took joy in writing sonnets and haikus, growing roses, and spending time with his family. A Chicago Cubs fan since 1931, he was proud of what they accomplished this year.
He is survived by sisters, Elizabeth Glick-Rieman, Margaret Hunkins and Ruth Welliver and brothers, Joseph Glick and Stanley Glick; his three children, Marti Barlett, Ted Glick and Mary Glick; grandchildren, Erik Berthold, Jessica Berthold and Daniel Glick and great grandchildren, Abby Berthold, Ellie Berthold and Milo Berthold Boylan, as well as scores of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
A service in his memory will be held on Monday, Nov. 2, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. from the Church of the Apostles, 1850 Marietta Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17603. Burial will be in Millersville Mennonite Cemetery
