Religious education begins by witnessing to those glimpses of God's grace, hope, and justice.
Religious education seeks to build communities of faith in the midst of difference.
In two recent publications, A Deacon's Heart and Mapping Christian Education, I have sought to listen to people of God as they encounter grace and, through theological reflection in community, are empowered to engage in God's transforming ministries. Outside the seminary, I work to enhance teaching in theological education through service with the Association of Theological Schools and the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning. I also serve on the executive committee of the Association of Professors and Researchers in Religious Education.
