Iliff seminary names new president: David G. Trickett takes helm

A United Methodist seminary in Denver has named a new president, nearly two years after it became embroiled in charges of racism after its first-ever Hispanic president abruptly stepped down in 2004.

Iliff School of Theology has named as president David G. Trickett, board chair of the Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
