Drawing on Black feminist and womanist thought, Dr. Day will explore how Black feminist apophatic mysticism challenges theological certainty and invites us to imagine and speak about God in more expansive, ethical, and Spirit-filled ways.

Centering the life and witness of Sojourner Truth, the lecture will consider Black mystical traditions that resist attempts to define or contain God while reckoning with the theological legacies of U.S. slavery.

Join Louisville Seminary for the 2026 Katie Geneva Cannon Womanist Lecture, featuring theologian and scholar Rev. Dr. Keri Day.

A very old military strategy used to win wars was referred to as "Divide and Conquer." By separating individuals and groups, power was shifted due to the smaller groups lack of resources. In the context of present day culture, this same strategy is often deployed in order to unhinge relationships through inhumane methods that encourage exclusion, fear, lack of engagement, and conforming to the status quo.

This lecture will discuss how leaders use Emotional Intelligence to restore humanity and create a culture of "Congregational Safety" where everyone feels included, heard, and valued for their uniqueness.

Join Bryan L. Champion (DMin '02) Professor of Public Sector Leadership (American University), Emotional Intelligence and Executive Organizational Leadership Development Expert for this thoughtful and timely conversation.

What can history tell us about Jesus and what remains mystery? In her latest book, Miracles and Wonder: The Historical Mystery of Jesus, acclaimed scholar and bestselling author Elaine Pagels turns her attention to one of history's most enduring questions: How did a poor young Jewish man inspire a movement that would become a world religion? Through this compelling conversation, Pagels will illuminate the experiences, struggles, and hopes of Jesus's earliest followers and consider how the stories they told shaped Christian faith across generations.
