Congratulations to Abi Zunk, this year's winner of our Servant Leadership Award!!! Each, Faith & Justice Scholars nominate peers who best exemplify our program values and set an example for other Scholars. One Scholar had this to say about Abi: "She is such a joy to be around and has so much love for others! She is very hard-working in everything she does and always gives 110% and more. I have enjoyed working alongside her . . . and she is such a powerful and respected leader from her peers." Congratulations, Abi!!!

We want to invite you to this special two-day virtual event that will impact you and the communities your ministries serve.

Dr. Rene Padilla and Dr. John M. Perkins were founders of a distinct theo-praxis in their places and ministry contexts. Their models of ministry focused on social, economic, political, and spiritual restoration for the marginalized in Latin America and the US.

On October 3rd and 4th, we will have a unique dialogue between scholars and practitioners where the intersection between these theologies “from below” will be explored.

You’ll hear from family members of the two leaders, historians, and practitioners all exploring how these models help us imagine ministry otherwise in our day. Cohort 8 member, Vatreisha Nyemba will be sharing about the CCD philosophy based on her recent doctoral work.

We partnered with World Outspoken, The Candler Foundry and Candler School of Theology - Emory University to have this learning experience with our communities.

Register today at ccda.org/thinking as soon as possible so you don't miss out on this transformative dialogue.
