About Looking For Our God: Voices Of Color Speak From
In Looking for Our God, twenty-six people of color share what they’ve seen of God while studying, teaching, and working at Virginia Theological Seminary, the largest accredited seminary in the Episcopal Church and a home for Anglicans worldwide. Inside these pages, you will find artists and writers working across genres and mediums—here are sermons delivered with passion, theological essays crafted with insight and acumen, poems that strike the heart, and so much more. The contributors are also diverse, representing different cultures, vocations, nationalities, and ethnicities, everything that makes a community of color. Taken together, they challenge the church to put an end to white supremacy—in the pews and in the public square—so that all of God’s children might find a place to belong. As VTS celebrates its historic bicentenary and grapples with a legacy of slavery, discrimination, and white supremacy, this collection points the way towards a new future for theological education. In a world where despair is palpable and pervasive, Looking for Our God opens space for lament; then it teaches us how to hope again.

Felton, Judy Fentress-Williams, Anthony D. Gaboton, Janettarose L.
