About EDS Colloquia
EDS Colloquia are dynamic, virtual hubs where the public are invited to witness and participate in rigorous theological discourse with renowned experts. Colloquia further EDS' legacy of progressive education and innovative, inclusive pedagogy. Through these virtual events, EDS fosters transformative conversations that incubate ideas, shift theological narratives, and inspire action for justice. EDS Colloquia are offered in tandem with our public, virtual, non-credit courses, in this case White Christian Nationalism and the Black Church's Prophetic Witness, taught by Dr. Jemar Tisby.
