Grateful for What is to Come
As the next 125 years begin, we give thanks for the individuals, churches, and organizations who have made DDH's remarkable legacy possible. The 125th Anniversary Report tells how generosity overflowed the goal.
Religion and the 2020 Election. Tabitha Isner, 2018 Democratic Candidate for Alabama 2nd Congressional District, and MDiv/MPP alumna, converses with Rob Wilson-Black, CEO, Sojourners, and PhD alumnus.
"No matter your politics, we've lost our moral compass as a nation, and we have to get really clear about what is morally right," says Disciples General Minister Terri Hord Owens on January 6. See also the statement from Disciples minister William Barber and the Poor Peoples Campaign.
Winter quarter events. On January 25, Tabitha Isner and Rob Wilson-Black consider religion and the election. On February 15, we welcome Divinity School professor Erin Galgay Walsh. See the full calendar of events.
Ayanna Johnson Watkins preached for the January 11 chapel, contemplating 1 Samuel 3.3, "the lamp of God had not yet gone out." She is Lead Organizer for MICAH Memphis, an interfaith coalition, and a MDiv/MA in SSA alumna.
LIVING JUSTICE: An Anti-Racist Practicum, directed by Yvonne Gilmore and Sandhya Jha, equips leaders and communities to move beyond echoing the call to justice to active learning in relation with others that charts a course of action. Apply now for the winter session, Feb. 2-March 2.
"She took life on." At DDH we knew Eddie Griffin best as a key officer of the Board of Trustees, a mentor to students, and a lover of the Chapel of the Holy Grail. She was remembered on January 16.
