Renowned civil rights leader Bishop William J. Barber II delivered his last sermon as pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church on Sunday. Barber has preached at the Goldsboro, North Carolina church for the last 30 years. As he left his decades-long position, Barber handed over the reins of the church to the next generation.
“The truth of the matter,” the Rev. Dr. William Barber declared before a packed house in the YDS Old Refectory, “is that for every transformative movement in this country, somewhere in that mix has been the voice of religion shifting the narrative.”
The new Center for Public Theology and Public Policy will work at the intersection of theology and advocacy. Barber joins Yale’s faculty as founding director.
