Ashley Wilkerson, senior co-pastor of Pacific Coast Church in Tacoma, Washington, which she leads with her husband JonFulton Wilkerson, has drawn criticism for suggesting that Bible translators altered Scripture to diminish evidence that women served as apostles, deacons and even pastors in the early church.
Charles Dumas, a professor emeritus from Penn State’s College of Arts and Architecture’s School of Theatre, described himself as a “foot soldier” during the 1960s’ civil rights movement.

Community liaisons at Richmond Public Schools are tasked with doing outreach to families, serving as a bridge between them and their schools. But traditionally, liaisons have worked out of the school buildings.
Under the Community Hubs program, which began in September, liaisons are meeting families in their communities instead. They’re trying to help students showing early signs of chronic absenteeism.
“The goal is to bring the school into the community,” said Erin Brown, the director of family and community engagement at RPS.
