Promoted to a full professor!

It's official—I've been promoted to a Full Professor at Virginia Union University. It's quite an honor and achievement in my second career. For almost 16 years of service at one school, with more than 16 books published, I have taught about 1,600 students up to this point. My utmost appreciation goes to many who have nourished and supported me in myriad ways: my colleagues from near and afar, dear students whom I have taught and learned from so much, supportive faculty and staff here at the school, old & new friends, and my forever family. The Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University constantly reminds me of what it means to be a balanced teacher, down-to-earth scholar, and authentic human being. Thank God. Here I am, Lord!
