Dr. Leopoldo A. Sánchez, interim Multiethnic Symposium chairman and the Werner R.H. Krause and Elizabeth Ringger Krause Professor of Hispanic Ministries at CSL. “Through migration and birth rates, the people of the Global South and their children also are in our communities and churches in the United States. What can we in the West learn from the rest? We are so excited to explore this question in our Multiethnic Symposium.” The event’s keynote and plenary speakers include: Philip Jenkins, Distinguished Professor of History at Baylor University, Waco, Texas [Romanist turned Episcopal]; Vince Bantu, assistant professor of Church History and Black Church Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Houston; Marcell Silva Steuernagel, assistant professor of Church Music and director of the Sacred Music Program at Southern Methodist University, Dallas; and Samuel Deressa, assistant professor of Theology and Global South at Concordia University, St. Paul, St. Paul, Minn.
