SCHOOLS

The cornerstones Word and World have been a series of ecumenical and inclusive schools that integrate the insights and experiences of “seminary, sanctuary, and street”:  the first school in Greensboro, NC, focused on the legacies of the civil rights movement;  the second in Tucson, AR, centered on the philosophies and practices of liberation theology;  the third school in Philadelphia, PA highlighted the struggles of the peace movement; and the fourth school in Rochester, NY focused on the social, economic, and ecclesiastical changes  engendered by faith-based feminist, womanist, mujerista, and LGBT movements.  Subsequent schools in Memphis, TN and Tar Heel, NC drew on the tradition of faith and labor organizing for economic justice.  The legacy of these “streams” informed the Mentoring Program curriculum.

Our Focus:
