“What is God inviting us to consider?”
This question guided development of the strategic planning. As we met with hundreds of stakeholders—thought leaders in theological education, alumni, church, and community leaders in Indianapolis—we kept coming back to this question. We had to be deliberate and thoughtful in our approach in order to create a forward-looking plan that embodies a persuasive and hopeful image of the future and a credible path toward achievement of this vision. Our planning culminated in CTS 2030: Project Transformation—a vision for where we want to be in less than a decade, as well as our path toward that destination.

Black History Month Lecture at Christian Theological Seminary

Explore how the logics of sacramentality lay important groundwork for the violent logics of white supremacy. By thinking about violence and anti-Black practice along the theological axis of sacrament and grace, we register these practices as problems for how we imagine and experience the very presence of God.

Rev. Nick Peterson is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Graduate Division of Religion at Emory University. His research explores racialization as a theological practice of violence. Nick’s work shows how theology can and has functioned as violently anti-Black by bringing radical Black feminist and Afropessimist insights into productive discourse with Black and practical theology.
