Registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvd-Grrj0tG9F730A-U9a9ArnRsz3f_iBV

THAT WILL PREACH is a new offering in which LTS faculty, alumni, and friends have a lunchtime conversation about an upcoming lectionary text. The featured faculty member will open with a presentation on the text (perhaps sharing some insight on exegesis, theological reflection, connections to the practice of ministry, issues of justice, or their own faith journey). The floor will then be opened for a discussion about the passage of scripture and its relevance to ministry.

Rev. Dr. Agnes Denise Bell is on the faculty at the Lexington Theological Seminary as the Donald and Lillian Nunnelly Chair for Pastoral Leadership. Dr. Bell served as the Regional Minister of the Christian Church in Georgia from 2014-2023. For 35 years, she served churches as pastor, associate, senior associate, satellite pastor, interim pastor, and executive pastor. Dr. Bell earned her MDiv from Denver Theological Seminary and received her Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership from Eastern University in St. David’s, Pa., where she studied the practices of flourishing African American pastors and challenged research regarding clergy wellbeing. As an educator and minister of practice, Dr. Bell seeks to help pastors and congregations increase their capacity to be healthy communities of faith in a changing world.
