As a result of the grant\, Dr. Heath Carter\, Associate Professor of American Christianity and Director of PhD Studies\, along with the support of Rev. Denise Carrell\, PhD Program Coordinator\, are leading a momentous project that seeks to promote communal care and connection. \nAs part of Princeton Seminary’s Wabash grant\, this event will feature an interview with Bishop Karen Oliveto\, a leading Christian voice\, about the opportunities and challenges of building bridges in a polarized world\, followed by a Q&A\, both facilitated by Dr. Carter. \n>>RSVP for this event\n\nBishop Oliveto was elected after serving as the first woman pastor of the 12\,000 member Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco\, the fifth largest United Methodist church in the US. Oliveto\, who was consecrated in 2016\, has the distinction of being the first openly lesbian bishop in the United Methodist Church. \nBishop Oliveto earned her Master’s in Divinity from the Pacific School of Religion\, Berkley\, CA\, a Master’s in Philosophy from Drew University\, and a PhD in the Sociology of Religion from Drew University. She has served as the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Pacific School of Religion. She was an adjunct professor of United Methodist Studies at Pacific School of Religion\, an adjunct professor in Prophetic Leadership for the Doctor of Ministry program at Drew University\, and an adjunct professor in Evangelism and Mission at Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University\, Fort Worth\, TX.

She was also named one of the Faith Leaders to Watch in 2021 by the Center for American Progress. She offers a unique perspective on working within polarized communities without losing the ability to “lead with love.”
