Today’s speaker, David Evans, is a professor at Eastern Mennonite Seminary,
where he trains ministers to bring news that not only sounds good, but also
promotes peace. He is a member of the United Methodist Church as well as a
former pastor and a community development professional. Dr. Evans is
interested in untangling the web of church missions and nationalist
allegiances as well as helping Christians understand the racial and religious
cultures that have produced them. He is married to Faith Evans and father to
his two sons, Isaac and Solomon. David would like to be known as someone
who laughs often, lives with passion, and loves deeply.
