CENTER
FOR FAITH IN PRACTICE
The Center for Faith in Practice was created in 2001 to bring together the core faculty with expertise in Bible, Theology, Ethics, Liturgy, Worship, Spirituality, Feminist Studies, and the Seminary’s certificate programs in Black Ministries, Hispanic Ministries and Women’s Leadership. Establishment of the Center made explicit the Seminary’s emphasis on praxis, that is, understanding the dynamics of the Christian faith in an applied context, with particular sensitivity to the needs of those communities that are easily marginalized by the dominant discourse and particular focus on developing religious leaders in all of the ways and contexts that leadership may become manifest in faith communities, both traditional and informal.
Participating as
faculty in the center are:
- Efrain
Agosto, professor of New
Testament and director of El Programa de Ministerios
Hispanos
- Kelton
Cobb, professor of theology and ethics
- Uriah Kim,
professor of Hebrew Bible
- Miriam Therese
Winter, professor of liturgy, worship, and
spirituality and feminist studies and director of the Women’s
Leadership Institute
- Heidi
Hadsell, president of the Seminary and
professor of social ethics, ex officio member
- Yehezkel
Landau, Faculty
Associate in Interfaith Relations
- Benjamin
Watts, Faculty Associate in Religion and Community Life and
director of the Black Ministries Program
The Center for
Faith in Practice, because all faculty teach courses that reflect its
educational mission, will seek to have all faculty participate in its
discussions of educational initiatives.
