Convocation provides an opportunity for the CTS community to recognize the importance of our faculty research. Often following a sabbatical, a faculty member is invited to present current considerations and research in their scholarly work. This tradition of inviting faculty to lecture demonstrates our on-going commitment to theological education and academics. It is a reminder that the journey towards social transformation could not exist if not for the brilliant scholars who have the audacity to push the bounds of our understanding.
Dr. Ken Stone will present his lecture, “‘Why Study Animals in Such a Time as This?’ Reflections on Queer Animality and Intersectional Eco-Spirituality.”

Join Susan Thistlethwaite and Nathan Dannison (MDiv ’09) for an ONLINE Zoom discussion that will range from the fictional world of Susan’s new mystery novel, “When Demons Float” about white supremacists doing online recruiting to get young, white men to commit hate crimes, to the real, online world of secretive white supremacist recruiters that Nathan works against.
As Susan writes, “From a theological perspective, White Supremacy is demonic.”
