W. J. Seymour Institute for Black Church and Policy Studies

The William J. Seymour Institute for Black Church and Policy Studies educates and trains black church leaders (including clergy, seminarians, seminarians and lay men and women) as well as the interested public, regarding a proper christian philosophic and theological understanding of comples questions confronting the black church at this period in our history. An uncompromising commitment to the poor insies the Seymour Institute's mission because of the greater vulnerability of economically disadvantaged populations to the harms that arise from improper societal action in the areas of concern.
