THANKSGIVING 2024

Gratitude

Welcome from the Dean

Dear Friends,

This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for the stories of transformation and leadership emerging from the Palmer community. In this issue, we explore how Disability and God’s Word is reshaping conversations about faith and ability, celebrate the wisdom shared at our Clergy Appreciation Breakfast, and honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Malcolm Byrd. We also invite you to journey through biblical history on our Turkey Trip and join us for Palmer’s Centennial Service as we celebrate 100 years of faithful ministry. As we give thanks this season, may God continue to bless and guide each and every one of you.

Grace and Peace,
Rev. Dr. Kimberlee A. Johnson
Dean, Palmer Theological Seminary
and College

Disability and God’s Word: Rethinking Leadership
Through Faith

In Scripture, Moses is not “cured” of his disability. Instead, God highlights his gifts and redefines his role as a disabled leader. A six-part series explores how Scripture and theology redefine disability, featuring Palmer faculty and experts discussing leadership, agency, and care in the Church.
