Abstract
The theme for this issue of JITC—“ I he Twenty-First Century Phenomena: Women on the Cutting Edge of Ministry”—is reflected in the diversity of our writers: faculty, students, staff, and alumnae. All avow that one of the most empowering dimensions of ITC is the emergent voice in African-American women’s theological scholarship—Womanist theology. This liberatory perspective is embedded in the Center’s purpose—educating and nurturing leaders for engagement in church and world for the common good.
