"Where else can a person find motivation when they have been forced to accept that they could do everything within their power to bring about positive social change, but it still might not be enough? When we don’t know where to start, we turn to love."

"No nos vamos a dejar coger de mangó bajito. (We won’t allow ourselves to be taken as low-hanging mangoes). So when I think about ethnography, I recognize the bite marks of its teeth.

At the same time, I am unsure if the solution includes isolating Puerto Rico from the sharing of herself and her particularities. Puerto Rico has so much to teach and model."

A Historic Celebration of Faith, Legacy, Music, and Divine Possibility!

On October 4, Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School gathered for Celebrating Covenant, a powerful worship service marking the historic installation of the Rev. Dr. Braxton D. Shelley as the inaugural George Washington Williams Professor.

Rooted in the legacy of a trailblazing minister, historian, and advocate for justice, the celebration brought together inspiring voices, extraordinary sacred music, and a shared commitment to the future of theological education and Black religious leadership.

Whether you joined us in Marquand Chapel or are experiencing the celebration for the first time, we invite you to revisit this extraordinary occasion. To watch the full service replay, read the recap, and view the photo slideshow, please visit

“To say that we’re at the dawning of the age of the Spirit is a concept I find immensely comforting, because as I regard the world around me, I just don’t understand what in the world God is up to. But I trust that people can connect with each other. We can breathe. We can tap into the energetic force of God. Just because we can’t make much sense of the world around us doesn’t mean we’re dead, as reason wasn’t what made us alive.”

"The very idea of “studying” the faith of another — particularly another who’s been systematically marginalized — doesn’t interest me, and such a practice doesn’t come close to reflecting what I understand our work at Andover Newton Seminary at YDS to be. I don’t study people. We don’t study communities. I and we seek to connect and form a relationship so that we might learn together."

"We sense that the old ways we knew are falling apart, and the new ways aren’t yet ready for prime-time. We must do something, mustn’t we? No. What we must do is to listen, partner, and collaborate, allowing new truths to emerge rather than forcing them out of their pupae. When we rush to closure, we risk coming to the wrong conclusions, skipping to the end of the mystery novel whilst never having understood the story well enough to care who dunnit."
