Black Church Studies
Progressive Traditions . . .
As a pioneer for diversity, CRCDS established The Program of Black Church Studies in 1969 with the assistance of the Lilly and the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller foundations. The CRCDS program is the oldest program of its kind in the nation. Alumni, who are among the most visible national leaders of African-American intellectual and ecclesiastical life, include Martin Luther King Jr., Howard Thurman, Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, Joseph H. Jackson, and Samuel Proctor, to name but a few.
