"New Vista: A Theology of Making” Art Exhibit
2023-09-19 - 2023-11-26 | Princeton Seminary, 64 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ, 08542, United States
The art@pts initiative is hosting an exhibit featuring 14 paintings and prints by contemporary artist Makoto Fujimura. Fujimura’s process-driven, refractive, “slow art” has been praised by David Brooks of the New York Times as a “small rebellion against the quickening of time.” Included in this exhibit is an original, new work by Fujimura titled “New Vista,” created for Princeton Theological Seminary’s gallery space.
Fujimura uses Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) materials using pulverized minerals, gold, silver, and other materials used in 17th century Japan, but combining them now with space-age materials to create a durable surface. Many of the paintings contain up to 150 layers in order to get maximum refraction built into the pulverized minerals. Therefore, these paintings have a different “look” depending on the light, and on what angle the viewer looks from.
The exhibit will be on display until November 26 and is free and open to the public. All are welcome to visit the Erdman Center at Princeton Seminary during the building’s operating hours, and to attend a public reception on November 3 from 7-9 p.m.

The art@pts initiative seeks to promote the place of aesthetics and the arts in the intellectual and spiritual life of the campus and its surrounding communities by providing welcoming spaces for artists to display their work and by fostering dialogue about the significance of the creative arts at the interaction of faith, academy, and society. “New Vista: A Theology of Making” is the first in a series of exhibits to be offered at Princeton Seminary.

Resurrection Hope: A Conversation with the Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas
2023-12-15 18:00 - 19:30 | Princeton Seminary, 64 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ, 08542, United States
The Center for Barth Studies and the Betsey Stockton Center for Black Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary are co-hosting a conversation with the Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas to discuss her new book, Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter. Douglas has been a leading voice in interrogating the intersection of theological thought and black existence during this critical historical moment in America which has witnessed the prophetic rallying cry of “Black Lives Matter.” In her new book, Douglas seeks to respond to the theological question from her son: “How do we really know that God cares when Black people are still getting killed? How long do we have to wait for the justice of God?” Through a sobering analysis of the anti-Blackness inherent in both the foundation of America as a nation and Christianity itself, Douglas tries to capture the depth of the problem when it comes to the threat against black lives. In the second part of her book, Douglas offers a theological response to her diagnosis of America’s racial problem in an effort to answer her son’s sobering question if Black lives actually matter to God. The discussion with Douglas will be followed by questions from the audience.
Featured Speaker
The Very Reverend Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas was named dean of the Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and professor of theology at Union in September 2017. She was named the Bill and Judith Moyers Chair in Theology in November 2019. She also serves as the Canon Theologian at the Washington National Cathedral and Theologian in Residence at Trinity Church Wall Street.
Dean Douglas’ academic work has focused on womanist theology, sexuality and the Black church, and racial and social justice. Prior to Union, she served as professor of religion at Goucher College where she held the Susan D. Morgan Professorship of Religion and is now professor emeritus. Before Goucher, she was associate professor of theology at Howard University School of Divinity (1987-2001) and assistant professor of religion at Edward Waters College (1986-1987).
In addition to preaching in pulpits across the nation and speaking at universities around the globe, Dean Douglas is a frequent and vocal presence in today’s print, broadcast, and digital public square, speaking on racial and social justice, among other matters.
She is the author of numerous articles, op-eds, and books, including her most recent book, Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter (November 2021, Orbis Books). Other books include Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective and Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God.
Ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1983, Dean Douglas holds a master’s degree in theology and a PhD in systematic theology from Union Theological Seminary.

Black Faces, White Spaces: African Americans’ Representation in the Great Outdoors

This is the kick-off event for the Seminary’s summer offering, First Thursdays at the Farm, a distinctive dinner series hosted at The Farminary, Princeton Theological Seminary’s 21-acre farm. The series brings together different scholars, activists, and artists to give a short talk or be interviewed over dinner. They are paired with a local chef who prepares the meal using produce from the Farminary. The events are designed to be intimate — capped at 25 people — and focused on meaningful conversation. No big presentations; just big ideas and delicious food in a one-of-a-kind venue.
COST: $125 per person; those who buy 3+ tickets get 15% off the total cost.

Black Faces, White Spaces: African Americans’ Representation in the Great Outdoors
Carolyn Finney, PhD is a storyteller, author and cultural geographer who is deeply interested in issues related to identity, difference, creativity, and resilience. The aim of her work is to develop greater cultural competency within environmental organizations and institutions, challenge media outlets on their representation of difference, and increase awareness of how privilege shapes who gets to speak to environmental issues and determine policy and action. Carolyn is grounded in both artistic and intellectual ways of knowing – she pursued an acting career for eleven years, but five years of backpacking trips through Africa and Asia, and living in Nepal changed the course of her life. Motivated by these experiences, Carolyn returned to school after a 15-year absence to complete a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. She has been a Fulbright Scholar, a Canon National Parks Science Scholar, and received a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Environmental Studies. Her first book, Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors was released in 2014 (UNC Press). She is an artist-in-residence and the Environmental Studies Professor of Practice in the Franklin Environmental Center at Middlebury College.

Carolyn’s conversation will focus on why African Americans are underrepresented when it comes to interest in nature, outdoor recreation, and environmentalism. Bridging the fields of environmental history, cultural studies, critical race studies, and geography, we’ll discuss how the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow, and racial violence have shaped cultural understandings of the “great outdoors” and determined who should and can have access to natural spaces.
Chef: Joe Rocchi is the Culinary Director at Franklin Towne Charter High School in Philadelphia. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in culinary arts and has honed his skills with over 2 decades of experience in the industry. He achieved success in various roles spanning the culinary landscape from opening multiple Philadelphia casinos as an executive, to fine dining restaurants, directing health care nutrition services, large-scale catering and as a consultant. He is a citizen of the Pamunkey Tribe of Virginia and is a passionate educator and rising star around questions of Indigenous food sovereignty, colonization, and pre and post-Colonial Indigenous foods. He holds a seat on the non-profit PAZA, TREE OF Life board of directors as well as being on the speakers bureau with the Philadelphia Native House Alliance. Chef Rocchi has recently been featured on PBS for his role in creating the inaugural Indigenous People’s feast at the College of William and Mary.
ABOUT THE FARMINARY
The Farminary is a place where theological education is integrated with small-scale regenerative agriculture to train faith leaders who are conversant in the areas of ecology, sustainability, and food justice. It is designed to train students to challenge society’s 24–7 culture of productivity by following a different rhythm, one that is governed by the seasons and Sabbath. “The project’s main goal is to form leaders by cultivating ecological and agricultural sensibilities within them like paying attention to the seasons, understanding the interconnectedness of life and death, and becoming comfortable with failure,” says Nate Stucky, director of the Farminary Project.

Please join Princeton Theological Seminary in welcoming Dr. Margaret Harper as our Engle Organ Concert recitalist on Tuesday, May 14, at 7:30 p.m. Margaret (Meg) Harper was recently appointed as the Director of Music at Princeton’s Trinity Church (Episcopal). She will be accompanied by fellow musicians from Trinity in a presentation of J. S. Bach’s Ascension cantata, Gott Fähret auf mich Jauchzen. The concert will also include master choral and organ works from the Renaissance and Baroque eras as well as festive congregational singing. The concert will be followed by a reception where attendees will be invited to greet the performers and enjoy refreshments. The concert, underwritten by an endowment given by Joe R. Engle, is free of charge and open to the public. All are welcome.

Margaret “Meg” Harper is Director of Music at Trinity Church in Princeton, New Jersey. She has been hailed by The Diapason magazine for her “impeccable” playing and by the Boston Musical Intelligencer for “outstandingly lively, punchy” performances. Croatian newspaper Glas Slavonije writes, “The freezing cold of a January evening dominated the cathedral in Djakovo, but it could not diminish the richness and warmth of sound brought out of the cathedral organ by Margaret Harper.”
Before coming to Trinity, Meg served parishes in New York, New Hampshire, and Texas. She has taught organ, harpsichord, and keyboard skills at Baylor University, the University of Southern Maine and the Eastman School of Music. Meg holds a DMA and a Performer’s Certificate from the Eastman School of Music. She has presented premiere performances of new works by composers including Cecilia McDowall, George Baker, Philip Moore, Todd Wilson, and many others. She has served in leadership roles for the Association of Anglican Musicians, the Royal School of Church Music – America, and the American Guild of Organists. Margaret performs and tours as an organist, harpsichordist, and conductor, and is on the roster of the Concert Artist Cooperative.
