SUMMARY:Payne Lecture with Dr. Donyelle McCray
DESCRIPTION:2024 Payne Lecture featuring Dr. Donyelle McCray\nThis year’s Payne lecturer is Dr. Donyelle McCray\, Associate Professor of Homiletics at Yale Divinity School. Her scholarship focuses on African American preaching\, sermon genre\, and medieval women’s spirituality. She is the author of The Censored Pulpit: Julian of Norwich as Preacher. The lecture will be presented in person at Seminary of the Southwest and live-streamed at the ssw.edu website and the Southwest Facebook page. \nView the live-stream for the event here.\nHosted by Seminary of the Southwest’s Board of Trustees\, the Payne Lecture is an annual event that focuses on mission and honors the Rt. Rev. Claude E. Payne\, former chair of the seminary’s board and bishop of the Diocese of Texas\, retired. \nDonyelle McCray studies homiletics and Christian spirituality\, focusing on African American preaching\, sermon genre\, and modes of authority. In her work\, the sermon occupies the shoreline between sacred and profane speech and holds emancipatory potential within Christian liturgies and beyond them.  She writes about the ways African American women and lay people use the sermon to play\, remember\, invent\, and disrupt. Her recent book\, The Censored Pulpit: Julian of Norwich as Preacher\, offers a homiletical reading of Julian’s life and ministry and attends to the relationship between preaching\, embodiment\, and authority. Her current research examines the preaching and spirituality of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray. She is also working on a documentary film as part of the Louisville Institute’s Clergy-Scholar Research team on Race\, Church\, and Theological Practices.

SUMMARY:Keynote Address with Dr. Renita Weems
DESCRIPTION:2024 Black History Month Keynote Address by Dr. Renita Weems\nKnapp Auditorium\nPlease join us for the BHM Keynote Address facilitated by Dr. Renita Weems. \nThe lecture will begin at 6:45pm and will be live-streamed at the ssw.edu website\, and the Southwest Facebook page. \n \nIn addition to being a former professor at Vanderbilt Divinity School (1987-2004)\, Dr. Renita Weems has taught at Spelman College\, Howard University Divinity School and Memphis Theological Seminary. She grew up in Atlanta\, GA where she attended Atlanta public schools. \nDr. Weems earned a Ph.D. degree at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1989 making her the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in Old Testament Studies. Her dissertation was a trailblazing effort. Writing in an era when women doctoral students hesitated to take on “women’s issue” topics\, and when most male faculty still felt uncertain\, if not uncomfortable\, advising such topics\, Dr. Weems chose to study marriage imagery in the Hebrew prophets. Her work offered careful\, challenging\, and often painful insights into use of this metaphor; moving beyond traditional scholarship\, which had all too easily looked only at the “love” side of the marriage metaphor. Weems was among the first to point to the violence associated with this biblical imagery\, violence acceptable within the prophets’ cultural assumptions about marriage and all too often considered acceptable even in twentieth-century America. Dr. Weems’ 1995 volume Battered Love: Marriage\, Sex\, and Violence in the Hebrew Prophets brought this important work to a wide audience\, with powerful hermeneutical reflection on implications for contemporary understandings of God and of marriage. Just A Sister Away: A Womanist Vision of Women’s Relationships in the Bible\, published in 1989 along with a host of other articles and books highlighting the questions and experiences that black women bring when reading the Bible has sealed her legacy as a trailblazer in the field of womanist biblical scholarship. Her seminal essay “Reading Her Way: African American Women and the Bible” appeared in the landmark book Stony the Road We Trod: African American Biblical Interpretation (1991). Her commentary on the book of “Song of Songs” in the New Interpreter’s Bible (1997) remains an important resource for understanding biblical notions of love\, sex and human sexuality. \nFinally\, Dr. Weems is a biblical scholar\, a minister\, and an author whose scholarly insights into modern faith\, biblical texts\, and the role of spirituality in everyday lives has made her a highly sought-after writer and speaker for more than four decades. She has numerous books\, commentaries and articles on the Bible and prophetic religion to her credit. She has written multiple articles and essays for academics\, preachers and lay audiences on topics of faith\, prophetic religion\, Christian ethics\, biblical notions of justice\, women’s spirituality\, and the Bible and human sexuality. She is the first Black woman to deliver the Yale University Lyman Beecher Lecture (2008). Dr. Weems is featured in “Black Stars: African American Religious Leaders” (2008)\, a collection of biographies of some of the most important Black Religious Leaders over the last 200 hundred years\, including such impressive figures as Adam Clayton Powell\, Elijah Muhammad\, Sojourner Truth\, Howard Thurman\, and Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.

SUMMARY:Harvey Lecture: The Rev. Daniel Robayo
DESCRIPTION:2024 Harvey Lecture with the Rev. Daniel Robayo\nKnapp Auditorium\nPlease join us for the Harvey Lecture facilitated by the Rev. Daniel Robayo\, with a reception to follow. \nThe lecture will begin at 6:30pm and will be live-streamed below\, at the ssw.edu website\, and the Southwest Facebook page. \n“The Harvey Lecture committee is very excited to welcome the Rev. Daniel Robayo to be our Harvey Lecture speaker for 2024\,” the Rev. Teri Calinao\, senior student committee member shares. “One of the topics that our Harvey Lecture survey revealed was that there is great interest in the topic of multicultural ministries. Father Robayo was formerly the Missioner for Latino/Hispanic in the Diocese of North Carolina and now serves as the Vicar of St. Mary Magdalene/Sta. Maria Magdalena\, a bilingual\, multicultural parish in Manor\, Texas. He has a passion for community organizing and we feel that he will bring an important lens of the work being done in multicultural ministries in further the mission of Christ.” \nThe Rev. Daniel Darío Robayo Hidalgo and his wife Nancy Urrecheaga Robayo live in Manor\, Texas\, where he has been serving as Vicar of St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church since October of 2022. \nDaniel earned undergraduate degrees in Philosophy and Social Sciences at Trinity College in Deerfield\, Illinois\, a small liberal arts college founded by the Evangelical Free Church\, which is the church family in which he grew up in Venezuela before coming to the United States at age 16. His walk in the Christian faith—his camino de fe— led him into the Episcopal Church in his twenties. Following graduation from Virginia Theological Seminary in 1987\, he was ordained deacon and subsequently priest in the Diocese of Virginia. He was assigned his diaconal year to serve in what was then the Hispanic Ministry of the Diocese of Virginia\, assisting in the care and development of a couple of congregations that later were admitted to Diocesan Council as missions. As a priest\, he was the first Hispanic to serve as Rector in English-speaking parishes in Virginia. From that platform\, he supported the work of Hispanic congregations as well as participating locally in the life of Hispanics/Latinos around his churches. As Rector of Emmanuel Church in Harrisonburg\,  Virginia\, he was also a community organizer involved in immigrant rights\, poultry workers’ rights\, local politics. He was also a volunteer police chaplain. \nBefore coming to Texas\, Daniel served four years on the staff of the Diocese of North Carolina as Missioner for Hispanic/Latino Ministries. He supported the work of  both Hispanic and Anglo congregations\, helping to build bridges in their communities. He also served on the board of Episcopal Farmworker Ministry\, a joint ministry of the dioceses of North and East Carolina. \nSt. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church is a recent plant of the Diocese of Texas\, intentionally established as a bilingual\, multiethnic and multigenerational church. His dream is to see St. Mary Magdalene flourish as a church that not only represents the wide variety of people who live in Manor but one that rejoices in the particular cultures that form it\, highlighting their diversity to enrich their unity as a community of faith that shares Christ’s transforming love with the larger communities of Manor. \nHe is amazed and grateful that he gets paid to do what he loves\, and he delights in the life he shares with Nancy\, who once upon a time was his high school sweetheart. Between them\, they have 5 children and 6 grandchildren (some living in the Austin area).  In his spare time\, Daniel’s passion is to ride his motorcycle and to learn Italian. \nThe student-led Harvey Lectures were conceived at Seminary of the Southwest as a way of honoring the late Dean Hudnall Harvey\, who died unexpectedly in 1972\, after serving as the seminary’s dean for just five years. \nDuring Dean Harvey’s tenure\, following some institutional turbulence during the 1960s\, the seminary had begun rebuilding: in terms of enrollment\, financial strength\, and earning back the trust of many dioceses through the church. \nThe seminary community established the Harvey Lectures an annual series that would be overseen by student leaders and that would address the relationship between pastoral leadership and contemporary issues confronting the church. \nOver the years\, these Lectures have become a lasting and vital resource for the seminary\, bringing important and diverse theological voices to our campus.

The Rev. Dr. Ben King will preach and the Rev. Nancy Frausto will officiate. \nAlso\, at the service\, Southwest will award the Charles Cook Servant Leadership Award given to the Honorable Lora Livingston. The Cook Award was created in 2009 by the faculty to honor their colleague and Seminary of the Southwest alum Charlie Cook on the occasion of his retirement from the Seminary. Each Fall\, another Academic Year begins\, the community pauses to remember this common calling we have and to honor one who especially embodies the Christian commitment to selfless service on behalf of others. \nThe service will be livestreamed at the seminary website and facebook page. Please feel free to forward these links to family or friends who may be interested but cannot attend. \nFollowing the service\, please join us for a celebratory reception in Howell Dining Hall. \nWe look forward to celebrating with you.
