Housed at the Howard University School of Divinity and led by executive director Tarsha W. Banister, "Wisdom Keepers, Hope Seekers" is a new collaborative initiative between seven historically Black theological institutions that aims to prepare and sustain pastoral leaders in Christian congregations.
Based at the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Kentucky and funded by the Lilly Endowment, the Louisville Institute awards grants and fellowships in support of leadership, education, and research on North American religion. Dr. Lovelace, a longtime professor and scholar of the Hebrew Bible, began her tenure as the institute's top executive leader on August 1.
Since 2015, Dr. Michael Joseph Brown has been serving as academic dean and interim president at the seminary. Previously, he was an associate professor of New Testament and Christian origins at Emory University in Atlanta.
