Theological Roundtable

The Sustaining Pastoral Excellence project will host two Theological Roundtables in the Fall and two in the Spring.

In collaboration with the American Bible Society, which provided a $10,000 grant, American Baptist College launched the Distinguished Speakers Dialogue Series in Black History Month of 2002. This dialogue series included presentations from several outstanding church and community leaders: United Methodist Bishop Leontine Kelly; Rep. John R. Lewis, 5th District, GA; Peter Paris, Professor of Christian Ethics, Princeton University; and the Rev. Dr. Hycel B. Taylor, former pastor of the historic Pilgrim Baptist Church of Chicago. After formal presentations, these speakers participated in roundtable discussions regarding the theological matters raised in the presentations. Our aim for these dialogic encounters is to encourage theological renewal for pastors in Christian ministry.
