Today's guest on The "Center" is Dr. Joanne Marie Terrell.
Dr. Terrell is the Kenneth B. Smith Chair of Public Ministry and Associate Professor of Theology, Ethics, and The Arts at Chicago Theological Seminary. Dr. Terrell had the distinct honor of being mentored by Dr. James Cone while she completed both her MDiv and Doctoral degrees at Union Theological Seminary. In her own right, Dr. Terrell is a brilliant scholar, and author of the book Power in the Blood? The Cross in the African American Experience. As part of her ministry, Dr. Terrell utilizes theater, poetry, and clothing design as both pedagogical process and expressive nonviolence in response to the violence that is present within our communities.
