About Madang:

This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is. reality. Please join me at madang.
This is the 22nd episode of Madang where I converse with Dean Kelly Brown Douglas on her book, Resurrection Hope.
The Very Reverend Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas was named Dean of the Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and Professor of Theology at Union in September 2017. She was named the Bill and Judith Moyers Chair in Theology in November 2019. She also serves as the Canon Theologian at the Washington National Cathedral and Theologian in Residence at Trinity Church Wall Street.
Dean Douglas’ academic work has focused on womanist theology, Black theology, sexuality and the Black church, and racial and social justice.
So thankful to have Dean Kelly Brown Douglas to discuss her book, Resurrection Hope.
Christian Century tweeted, “Prayer is good, but Jesus wasn’t crucified because he prayed too much.”
Conversations about whiteness, anti-blackness in the church, just communities, #blacklivesmatter, resurrection, hope and so much more.
