She joins us as Theologian-In-Residence and will help those who call the Passion Center their home think theologically about their work and help us explore and express our theology.

We know that some may not have ever heard of this role "in the church" so here is our explanation.

What is a Theologian-in-Residence? 

A trained theologian who works to bridge the gap between the academy and the church.  They bring attentiveness to the intersections of academic, activist, and ecclesial engagement. And bridge the forefront of religious scholarship and a passion for re-imagining our ordinary, common, messy life as the site of Divine encounter and revelation. The Passion Center is proud to have Grace Ji-Sun Kim as our inaugural Theologian-in-Residence.
