The 2026 Black Church Studies Consultation invites leaders, scholars, and practitioners to reflect on the radical hospitality of the Gospel. In Luke 14:12–14, Christ calls us to extend our invitations not to those who can repay us, but to the marginalized—the poor, the outcast, and the overlooked.

"Turn to Your Neighbor" compels us to reimagine neighborliness beyond proximity and familiarity. This year’s theme will explore what it means to build churches, ministries, and communities that intentionally center justice, inclusion, and mutual care.

• How do we shift from transactional relationships to transformational discipleship?
• How do we practice hospitality as a form of resistance?
• And how do we embody the Gospel’s call to love those who society often leaves behind?

The 2026 Consultation will feature a full slate of meaningful programming, including:

• A spirit-filled revival honoring the depth of Black worship and preaching.
• The annual Edwards Lecture offering theological insight into the theme.
• Dynamic panel sessions with scholars, pastors, and community leaders.
• A joyous gathering of Black Church studies friends and alumnae to celebrate connection, legacy, and future vision.

Together, we will turn—to each other, to the margins, and to God—with open hands and courageous hearts.
