Stephen G. Ray Jr. begins presidency at Chicago Theological Seminary

Ray has "a deep awareness" of where theology intersects with race, politics, and culture.

Stephen G. Ray Jr. became president of Chicago Theological Seminary on February 1.

“I have so often felt a missionary of the gospel of inclusion and hope in other places in theological education,” he said in a statement. “Being at CTS feels like God has brought me home.”

Previously Ray taught at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Luth­eran Theological Seminary at Philadel­phia, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Sem­inary, Yale Divinity School, and Hartford Seminary.
