Vincent Bacote, Leslie Callahan, Valerie Cooper, and Michael McBride respond to questions during the second day of the Black Public Theology Symposium in a panel conversation moderated by Trey Clark. The panelists discuss moving a pietistic congregation toward public engagement, the role of scholarly vocation, the challenge of reconciliation, facing histories of injustice, and self-care practices for those engaged in the work of social justice.

The Black Public Theology Symposium was held at Fuller Theological Seminary, October 2018. The symposium sought to bring the Black academy and the Black church into dialogue and explore ways to distill Black theology and make it accessible to the Black church and community.
