(Dr. Peter Cha is currently Professor of Church, Culture and Society at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.)

Peter Cha, Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, hosts a Henry Center dialogue with Michael Emerson, Alvin Sanders, and Peter Hong, who explore how racial prejudices have diminished in the United States in the last years, but at the same time, the social differences are increasing. Michael O. Emerson (PhD University of North Carolina) is Department Head and Professor of Sociology at University of Illinois Chicago. He is co-author of Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America (Oxford University Press, 2000), People of the Dream: Multiracial Congregations in the United States (Princeton University Press, 2006), and Market Cities, People Cities: The Shape of Our Urban Future (New York University Press, 2018). Alvin Sanders (PhD Miami University) is President and CEO at World Impact. He is author of Bridging the Diversity Gap: Leading toward God’s Multi-Ethnic Kingdom (Wesleyan Publishing House, 2013) and Uncommon Church: Community Transformation for the Common Good (InterVarsity Press, 2020). Peter Hong (MDiv & MA Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) founded and served as Lead Pastor for 19 years at New Community Covenant Church, a vibrant and growing urban, multiethnic church. The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
