Karenna Gore joins McClendon Scholar-in-Residence Program
McClendon Scholar-in-Residence Program
“Where Faith, Intellect and Justice Meet”
The McClendon Scholar Program brings scholars and thought leaders to Washington to share their learning, wisdom and insight about how the church can be more effective in its work for social justice. Established through the generosity of the late Rev. Dr. Jack E. McClendon, the program grows out of Dr. McClendon’s insight that justice, service and action can only be sustained when a community works to deepen its faith and grapples with the profound issues of the day.
