Leading for a Transformed World

By Rev. Dr. Andrea Wright, ’16 ‘23
“I am deeply committed to equitable ministry and inclusive justice. These principles have guided my life, and they will continue to guide me in this role. The seminary has an opportunity to lead build bridges between faith and action, showing the world what it means to live out the gospel in tangible, transformative ways." Rev. Dr. Andrea Wright is the first Black woman to serve as President of Garrett's Board of Trustees.

Vibrant Past, Abundant Future

A Conversation with The Rev. Dr. Dong Hyeon Jeong
One of CAAM’s hopes is that students will bring these same values into their ministries after graduation. “Before Jesus told people they were saved, he would feed and heal them first,” Dr. Jeong says. “If we’re going to live out a gospel of social holiness from the Wesleyan perspective, salvation is not just individual—it’s communal.” As students experience this holistic care, it prepares them to offer it to others. “If the Asian Center helps them feel welcome, they can go out and lead communities committed to the same,” he says.

An Easter message from the President

Reflections on the meaning of Resurrection
In Jesus’ death something new is being born. It’s not unlike at the beginning of creation, when out of chaos and deep void came light and new life. At the precipice of ruin, defeat, and fear, Christians claim to come face to face with the possibility of a transformed reality, one in which death is not avoided or escaped. Instead, death is transformed into a life and an existence that confronts the forces of empire and defeats the agents of despair and fear. As Jesus stared into the face of his persecutors and eventual executioners, he entered liminal space where the prospect of transformed new life became not only a possibility, but a reality.
