The Messinger-Williams Community Education Initiative is an extension of the Hood Theological Seminary’s Messinger and Williams Family Chair in Theology and Ethics. There will be courses offered at various times throughout the year. Course topics will vary but will consistently deal with issues of faith, ethics and community. The courses are open to the general public.  

The Spring 2025 Messinger-Williams Community Education Initiative will look at the newly released book “Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious” by Ross Douthat, which offers a blueprint for thinking your way from doubt to belief.

The Spring 2025 Messinger-Williams Community Education Initiative will be devoted to a five-week study of the book starting March 17– April 18. 

Messinger-Williams Family Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics Dr. Trevor Eppehimer of Hood Theological Seminary will be the facilitator. Contract Eppehimer for any questions at teppehimer@hoodseminary.edu.
