Reverend Paul Timothy Roberts is the President of Johnson C. Smith Seminary in Atlanta, GA. He will explore with us how Christian educators can embody and teach justice by embracing the prophetic call to disrupt systems of exclusion and inequality within and beyond the church. Drawing from Scripture, and from Black and womanist theologies, participants will examine how educational ministries can become spaces of sacred

disruption and healing.

Paul has been president of the seminary since the spring of 2010. Under his leadership, JCSTS has redefined itself—and is helping redefine theological education through the lenses of social justice and humanitarianism.

With more than 30 years of ministry experience, Paul is gaining recognition as a Christian mystic. He is in demand nationally as a speaker and educator. His writings and work have been featured in numerous publications including the Presbyterian Outlook Magazine, Journal for Preachers, Feasting on the Word (Westminster John Knox Press), Pastoral

Theology from a Global Perspective (Orbis Books), and the Princeton

University Alumni Weekly.
