Rodger Nishioka, Associate Professor of Christian Education at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia is the keynote speaker at The James Ross McCain Faith and Learning Lecture sponsored by the Committee on Faith and Learning, created to encourage and maintain an ongoing dialog on campus concerning issues of faith and learning.
Professor Rodger Nishioka's teaching emphasis is on equipping pastors for their role as teachers and leaders in the educational ministry of the church. He is particularly interested in building congregation’s youth and young adult ministries, and is currently researching what attracts young adults to the church.
In conjunction with the event we have compiled a bibliography featuring books, articles and websites by and about the keynote speaker.
