Episode 80: Meet the women chosen to lead a 65-year-old school of ministry and theology (Naomi Walters and Beth Bowers)

The Christian Chronicle Podcast

Rochester Christian University, founded in 1959 as North Central Christian Junior College, has deep roots and strong ties to Churches of Christ. Like other colleges and universities in this tradition, Rochester Christian built itself around its school of ministry and theology so that its graduates would become leaders and ministers in churches around the world.
In June 2024, Rochester Christian made history as the first university associated with Churches of Christ to appoint two women, Dr. Naomi Walters and Dr. Beth Bowers, to lead its graduate and undergraduate ministry and theology programs.
In this episode, Dr. Walters and Dr. Bowers survey the landscape of congregational ministry now and the horizon of what it may become in the future. And they cast their vision for educating, forming and training ministers for the congregations of tomorrow.
