In Season 2 Episode 5 of Episcopal Priest Explains, I conclude my conversation with with Dr. Joseph Thompson, Assistant Professor of Race and Ethnicity Studies and Associate Dean of Multicultural Ministries at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, VA. We discuss what programs are like for multicultural ministry and ethnic studies, and leadership ministry in these areas at a seminary in the Episcopal Church.
