SUMMARY:Pathways for Continuing Theological Education
DESCRIPTION:As the world grows and changes\, how we do ministry must grow and change. Theological education can support us in exploring new ways to do ministry\, and connect us with peers and faculty who can partner with us in that growth. Join us on November 12th to look at how degree programs (like our Doctor of Ministry program) and non-degree opportunities (such as the Garrett Collective) can keep our mind and our ministry sharp.

SUMMARY:She Refuses To Be Comforted: Black Theology and A Mary Who Cries
DESCRIPTION:The Stead Center and the Center for the Church and Black Experience welcome Rev. Dr. Amey Victoria Adkins-Jones for a Lunch and Learn\, where she will discuss her book\, Immaculate Misconceptions: A Black Mariology. \nAmey Victoria Adkins-Jones is Assistant Professor of Theology and Africana studies at Candler School of Theology (Emory University). A graduate of the University of Virginia and Duke Divinity School\, she received her Ph.D. in Religion from Duke University in 2016 with a Certificate in Feminist Theory.

Dr. Adkins-Jones is an ordained Baptist minister who frequently preaches and teaches around the country\, and brings pastoral sensibility to her work centering social justice. She shares life with her beloved spouse and their four children in Atlanta\, GA.
