From church to classroom: the Rev William Barber takes his ‘moral mission’ to Yale

The founder of #MoralMondays will lead the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at the divinity school of Yale University, where he will teach as a “professor of the practice”.

Barber has big ambitions for the center, which will surprise no one who has followed the path of a man who has always set gargantuan goals for himself: eradicating American poverty, ending environmental destruction, combating racism and putting moral purpose back at the center of public life.

The idea behind the Yale center, he told the Guardian in an interview, was to dig down to “our deepest moral values, both in the scriptures and in the constitution”.
