Two New Digital Doors Open: Exploring Healing & Narrative Justice at McCormick
APRIL 9, 2025
McCormick Theological Seminary is pleased to announce the recent launch of two new microsites, each dedicated to pivotal aspects of our academic and community engagement: the Sacred Memory Project and the Trauma Healing Initiative. These digital spaces represent our ongoing commitment to expanding access to scholarly resources, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and community, and empowering individuals to engage in transformative work within their respective contexts.
Reclaiming Stories, Building Justice: The Sacred Memory Project Microsite
Step into the newly launched digital home of the Sacred Memory Project, led by the visionary Dr. Itihari Touré. This microsite is more than just a space on our website; it’s a portal to reclaiming and amplifying forgotten and distorted narratives. We believe that by restoring these stories, we build pathways for healing and repair, challenging the silencing that diminishes our collective worth.
The Sacred Memory Project champions a broadened understanding of “preaching,” recognizing the powerful contributions of diverse voices – from faith leaders to artists and digital storytellers – all working together to create a more equitable future. Explore rich educational resources, stay updated on upcoming events, and witness the vibrant spirit of our gatherings through captivating photo galleries. This microsite is a call to action, an invitation to actively participate in the restoration of Sacred Memory. Discover how you can join us in cultivating a community dedicated to healing and narrative justice.
Nurturing Healing, Building Resilience: The Trauma Healing Initiative Microsite
In a world grappling with trauma, McCormick, under the leadership of Dr. Stephanie Crumpton and Dr. Jina Kang, is driving a new approach to providing essential resources and support for healing and community wellness through the Trauma Healing Initiative.
The new THI microsite is a central hub designed for ministry leaders, community advocates, and anyone seeking to cultivate resilience. It offers a wealth of tools to foster healing and build resilient communities. Explore the details of our Micro-Credential in Community Healing Practices (MCHP), access our growing Resource Library featuring guides, podcasts, and videos, and deepen your understanding of trauma with our informative guide. Additionally, anticipate the upcoming "Be Well" podcast, where insightful conversations and expert perspectives will be shared. This platform stands as a practical and accessible resource, empowering individuals to enact positive change within their communities.
A Commitment to Transformation
These two microsites represent McCormick Theological Seminary’s ongoing commitment to transformative work. We believe that by reclaiming narratives and fostering healing, we can build a more just and compassionate world. We invite you to explore these new digital doors, connect with our communities, and join us on this vital journey.
