On Wednesday, April 29 at 7 p.m., the Institute for Advanced Pastoral Studies hosts the webinar “Race, Inequality, and COVID-19” on Zoom with Charles M. Blow, columnist for The New York Times, and Angela Dillard, a professor at the University of Michigan. Joining them as panelists will be the Rev. Charles Christian Adams (Hartford Memorial Baptist Church) and the Rev. Dr. William J. Danaher Jr. (Christ Church Cranbrook), who is also moderating the event.
“The COVID-19 pandemic will require pastors and other religious leaders in Metro Detroit from every social sector to rethink how they exercise their leadership,” said The Rev. Dr. William J. Danaher, Jr., Rector of Christ Church Cranbrook. “Given the high level of infection in Metro Detroit, and the disproportionate burden of the pandemic being borne by African Americans here, it will be impossible for pastoral leaders to move forward with our work unless we address this urgent issue in a timely way.”

- Charles Christian Adams – Senior Pastor, Hartford Memorial Baptist Church; Detroit, Michigan
- Charles M. Blow – Op-Ed Columnist, The New York Times; New York, New York
- William J. Danaher, Jr. – Rector, Christ Church Cranbrook; Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
