Join us for a conversation with Duke Divinity alumnus Rev. R.G. Wilson-Lyons. In his 15 years of ministry, Rev. Wilson-Lyons has gone from pastor of a house church in an under-served community, to a downtown congregation, and now is exploring what the future of ministry looks like through online storytelling. Rev. Wilson-Lyons illustrates his role of pastor in Birmingham’s West End as one of convener for the work of community that is done by community members with their skills, wisdom, and sensitivity to their own community needs. He also works through what kinds of connections might be possible, during this season of COVID-19, through our shared experience of physical estrangement with digital access.
