Rev. Dr. Gregory Ellison & Ms. Georgette Ledgister on Fear

The Rev. Dr. Gregory Ellison and Ms. Georgette Ledgister delivered this lecture: "Forging Fearless Communities: Seeing and Hearing to Overcome Fear," on June 6, 2017 at Yale Divinity School as part of YMI's annual Summer Symposium.

Fear undercuts one's ability to fully experience or express joy by muting and rendering one invisible. This session explores the four fundamental fears that inform generational divides and acts of exclusion. Participants will learn strategies to see every member of our communities of faith as whole persons.

The Rev. Dr. Ellison is Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Emory University's Candler School of Theology and founder of Fearless Dialogues. Georgette Ledgister is a PhD Candidate in religion, and social and theological ethics at Emory University.
