💬 I was honored for my teaching and scholarship with the L. Richardson King Professorship. I remain active in scholarship through a broad range of research projects which have been generously funded, especially by the Religion Division of Lilly Endowment, Inc. I participate widely in many roles of academic leadership & on advisory boards.

💬 I’m most interested in uncovering the dynamics of contemporary issues involving racial equity, religious innovation & political power. My courses are seminar style and best characterized by a cooperative process of critical thinking and analytical dialogue.

💬 In addition to speaking engagements, consultations, peer-reviewed articles, and grant-funded research, much of my scholarship and teaching is represented in the books I have written:

📚 A Mosaic of Believers: Diversity and Innovation in a Multiethnic Church (Indiana University Press)
📚 Hollywood Faith: Holiness, Prosperity, and Ambition in a Los Angeles Church (Rutgers University Press)
📚 Worship across the Racial Divide: Religious Music and the Multiracial Congregation (Oxford University Press)
