“I’m grateful for the work of the LI. For pastors, religious educators, and academic researchers, it remains a vital center for sponsoring high quality empirical research, allowing all of us to avoid speculation and discern what is actually happening with religion in the world.”

“The Louisville Institute Board gives us the privilege of investing in the good and holy work of congregations, pastors, and academics throughout North America.”

“In times of great change, thoughtful study is more necessary than ever. LI stands ready to invest meaningfully in people and networks, movements and ideas that will make a difference to the church and academy alike.”

“Serving as a Board Member for Louisville Institute is a great opportunity to stay abreast of the latest research, support pastors and congregations inquires, and work with a group of compassionate and caring individuals.”

“I serve as chair/moderator of the Louisville Institute board as president of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary but equally out of a deep commitment to innovating theological educational for our day and time. LI is leading edge in this regard. Grounding what we do at LI in conjunction with LPTS is an integral way for me to model our partnership and to tangibly celebrate the future of our vocational witness for the academy, church and society.”

“As a pastor and a seminary faculty member, I am particularly drawn to the Louisville Institute’s aim to facilitate generative conversations between the church and the academy in North America.”

“Supporting the Louisville Institute offers opportunity to stand as a welcomer at the door of theological exploration and insight in the United States. This work is important because I believe that healthy communities of faith that take theological insights seriously can be helpful participants in the work of healing the world through justice, inclusion, innovation, and love.”
