Description
This interactive workshop explores how Christian educators can embody and teach justice by embracing the prophetic call to disrupt systems of exclusion and inequality within and beyond the church. Drawing from Scripture, and from Black and womanist theologies, participants will examine how educational ministries can become spaces of sacred disruption and healing.
Workshop Leader: Paul Roberts
Paul is President of Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA, a position he has held since the spring of 2010. Under Paul’s leadership, JCSTS has redefined itself—and is helping redefine theological education through the lenses of social justice and humanitarianism.
With more than 30 years of ministry experience, Paul now is gaining recognition as a Christian mystic. He is in demand nationally as a speaker and educator. His writings and work have been featured in numerous publications including the Presbyterian Outlook Magazine, Journal for Preachers, Feasting on the Word (Westminster John Knox Press), Pastoral Theology from a Global Perspective (Orbis Books), and his alma mater’s publication, the Princeton University Alumni Weekly.
