COMPASSION

Welcome from the Dean

As we conclude another year...

Our hearts are filled with thanks to God for abundant grace. As Christmas approaches, we’re reminded of how our Savior Jesus was born fragile, humble, and in poverty, yet bringing eternal compassion into our world. May we celebrate and share the unfailing love and light of Jesus, especially during this season.

Merry Christmas!
Rev. Dr. Kimberlee A. Johnson,
Interim Dean,
Palmer Theological Seminary

Enacting Jesus’ Mission of Compassion in the World

“Compassion is deeper than empathy in the sense that it requires the formation of a tension, a psychic stickiness that forges the acceptance of a kind of creative death. This is the process of becoming, of being discipled into the work of rescue, healing, and redemption.”

That’s how Dr. Tokunbo Adelekan describes compassion in his forthcoming book Trumpet of Compassion: An Essay on the Role of Biblical Compassion in Social Reconstruction. In the text, Adelekan writes on what Christian compassion looks like in the face of the killings of George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, and other innocent Black folks.
