The Rev. Dr. I. Carter Heyward
Howard Chandler Robbins Professor of Theology

"My educational passion is in enabling students to do theology at its roots: making connections between their daily lives, their relationships and work, their faith and politics--and those of others, past and present, those like them, and those unlike them. The only theology worth doing is that which inspires and transforms lives, that which empowers us to participate in creating, liberating, and blessing the world. This is a basic tenet of feminist liberation theology and it is also Anglicanism at its best."
