activist, and black preacher in the whitest denomination in the
United States, the ELCA. He serves as pastor of Jehu’s Table in
Brooklyn, New York.

Reading from his new book, “Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the U.S.”

Luther Seminary has recently launched a new connected learning hub, called Faith+Lead, to connect Christian leaders to the resources, experiments, and communities exploring how to cultivate Christian faith in the 21st century.

We’ve got a robust blog, with practices, reflections, and research; free downloadable ebooks and other resources; and our own social network, the Faith+Lead Learning Lab, that’s kind of like Facebook for pastors but without the fake news.

Best of all, we’re curating as much as we can from the Luther community! If you’ve got a practice, project, article, book, or insight that can help our audience of 14,000 (and growing) explore how to cultivate Christian faith, identity, and practice in our contemporary context, get in touch with Katie Langston (klangston002@luthersem.edu) or Dwight Zscheile (dzscheile001@luthersem.edu).
