Dr. William J. Barber, II as the Inaugural Prophetic Preacher-in-Residence. The office will provide support, resources and encouragement for denominational and faith leaders in their public witness in the public square during these perilous times.

On April 13th, Palm Sunday Disciples General Minister and President, the Reverend Teresa “Terri” Hord Owens will offer remarks and lead the processional on Capitol Hill to hear the first Sermon to the Nation by the Prophetic Preacher-in-Residence, Bishop William J. Barber, II. Reverend Owens is extending an invitation to all and especially to faith and denominational leaders to join her on April 13th.

The Reverend Stephanie Kendell, Senior Minister of National City Christian Church welcomes this new Office of Prophetic Witness and will also be joining and encouraging others in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Capital Area and beyond to engage in public witness in the public square particularly the We Must Stand Moral Witness Wednesdays and the Justice Focused Weekends including the “One Moral Vision in 1,000 Voices.”
