Shortly after the the School of Ministry began in July 2004, our Dean, the Rev. Dr. Leon Spencer, initiated this series of brief theological reflections entitled Doing theology. He had previously written similar reflections at the Washington Office on Africa and Greater Birmingham Ministries, and finds them an opportunity to write creatively about our faith and our world. These reflections are just that, reflections, that may just encourage your own.

Doing theology is issued bi-monthly. If you find them helpful and wish to share them with others, you are free to do so. Please, however, credit the source as the School of Ministry of the Diocese of North Carolina.
