Dr. Jeremiah Wright SPEAKS in Nashville

Discovery Week with The Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright

The whole of the American Baptist College students and faculty are excited that the Reverend Jeremiah Wright will be our 2011 Visiting Lecturer on April 11-13, 2011 for what has become a new feature in our academic calendar, Discovery Week.

Rev. Dr. Wright is Pastor Emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) where he served for 36 years before he retired in 2008.  A product of the student protest movements of the 60s and 70s, Dr. Wright led Trinity UCC in creating a mission statement for the church based upon systematized Black liberation theology that started with the works of liberation theologian James Cone. Besides having a reputation for being a fiery preacher of matters of social justice, Rev. Dr. Wright is a national leader in promoting theological education and the preparation of seminarians for the African-American church.

Discovery Week at American Baptist College has evolved into a campus wide engagement with the community and path seekers who desire vocational guidance for relevant spirituality, biblical studies and theological education. Discovery Week is an excellent opportunity for potential students and career adults who are looking for learning options to sample the kind of teaching and critical engagement with prophetic Christianity that occurs on the campus of American Baptist College.
