Welcome to our online event featuring a conversation with Brendan Barnicle about his new book, Doing Well by Doing Good: The Missional Benefits of Church-Based Economic Enterprises

About the Dean's Lectures:

From drawing on the wisdom of Howard Thurman, healing from the Indian Boarding School system, or recovering practices like joy, play, and the art and music of Prince, 2025’s theme of healing centered leadership gathers scholars, writers, and religious leaders who are leading a healing revolution. All lectures will be virtual.

2024 lectures included Friends of Roots, a youth-focused organization seeking healing between Israelis and Palestinians; Freddy Mutanguha, CEO of Aegis Trust, whose work focused on healing following genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda; and Phillis Webstad, founder of Orange Shirt Society, which seeks reconciliation in the aftermath of Indian Boarding Schools.
