At McCormick Theological Seminary, we are stepping boldly into a new season with gratitude, faith, and an unyielding call to justice. For nearly 200 years, McCormick has prepared leaders who preach good news, build beloved community, and stand strong in the face of injustice.
Now, through Awakening Possibility 2025, we invite you to join us in opening doors for the next generation of courageous leaders.
HONORING A LEGACY OF JUSTICE
This year, we celebrate the life and witness of the late Rev. Dr. David D. Daniels III, the Henry Winters Luce Professor of World Christianity and Professor of Church History — a beloved professor who guided McCormick students for more than 35 years with wisdom, compassion, and a relentless commitment to racial justice.
Dr. Daniels awakened generations to God’s justice and love. In his honor, McCormick is launching the Rev. Dr. David D. Daniels III Scholarship, with a goal of raising $50,000 to equip future students for ministry that heals, liberates, and transforms.
