Bring your lunch and join us online, Tues., June 23, 2020, 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Professor Angela Dienhart Hancock will address “Theological Education as Speech Therapy: Forming Graceful Deliberators in Polarized Times.” Many these days are concerned about the future of democracy in the U.S., noting the way citizens are ill equipped to participate in reasoned debate. Seminaries have a unique opportunity to bring diverse people together to practice deep, passionate, and generous discussion. Professor Hancock will discuss her work on deliberation as a Christian practice and how it informs the ethos of the classroom and campus of Pittsburgh Seminary.
Additionally, President David Esterline and Dean Heather Vacek will provide updates about the Seminary. There will be time for Q&A. E-mail Carolyn Cranston at with questions.
