Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas will preach at Wilshire’s 75th-anniversary worship service on Sunday, June 14.
Douglas is canon theologian at Washington National Cathedral and is currently a visiting professor at Harvard Divinity School. Her academic work has focused on womanist theology, racial justice issues and sexuality and the Black church, and her current research involves expanding the moral imagination in fostering a more just future.
Douglas’s book Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter won the 2023 Grawemeyer Award for religion writing. From 2017 to 2023, Douglas was dean of the Episcopal Divinity School and professor of theology at Union Seminary in New York.
