Randomly-chosen Program From This Collection:

Description: The Rev. Dr. Peggy Ann Brainerd Way (1931-2016) was scholar in pastoral care and the first woman appointed to a full-time position on the Vanderbilt Divinity School faculty. In addition, she was the first of two women to teach at the Jesuit School of Theology in Chicago. She also was the first woman faculty member in a field other than Christian education at McCormick Theological Seminary. In this talk, she urges concepts of pastoral theology that will open the way for congregations not only to care, but to be caring places. She suggest pastoral theology needs to gather concepts from many different sources and disciplines as it attempts to deal with violence in society.
