As part of its centennial celebration, Duke Divinity School commissioned a new hymn, "Here We Gather to Remember," that speaks to the school's theme for the year of the Christian vocation to serve the Triune God. The English poet Malcolm Guite wrote the text for the hymn while the Chapel's music director, Dr. Zebulon Highben, composed the music for it, a tune titled DIVINITY 100.

"Divinity 100 has an expansive range, but it moves largely by steps, thirds, and fourths, common intervals in folksong," says Dr. Highben, associate professor of the practice of church music at the Divinity School. "The tune’s highest point—which is entirely singable by congregations—comes at the end of the text’s penultimate line."

A Journey of Discernment.

Beyond the classroom and into the possibilities of ministry!

The Office of the University Chaplain recently accompanied a few students on a visit to Duke Divinity School, where they explored theological education, vocational calling, and pathways to ministry.

Experiences like these encourage students to discover their gifts, deepen their faith, and discern where God may be leading them.

“Claflin is indeed the place Where the Spiritual Meets the Intellectual.” 🧡

The scholar and popular podcast host Dr. Kate Bowler will explore the tension of life’s overlapping deep ache and great joy during a public conversation on Tuesday, November 10, at 6:00 p.m. in Duke Chapel.

Register for a free ticket: See link in bio.

Dr. Bowler hosts the award-winning podcast Everything Happens and is an associate professor of American religious history at Duke Divinity School. A five-time New York Times bestselling author, her most recent book is "Joyful, Anyway." Also titled “Joyful, Anyway,” the event is Duke Chapel’s fifth annual William Preston Few Lecture. Chapel Dean Luke Powery will moderate the discussion.

In "Joyful, Anyway," Dr. Bowler illuminates the surprising nature of joy in a world filled with distraction, pain, and grief. The book gets its title from a promise she makes to a friend whose mother died suddenly: “You will never be cured of this grief, it’s true. But you will be joyful, anyway.”

We spent this week with the Forum for Congregational Life at Duke Divinity School! 50 organizations have been mentored and given resources over the last 3 years to help build capacity within their faith based organizations. This week we networked, celebrated, shared resources and loved on each other. I led a workshop on Grant Writing, Managing Grants, and stewarding Donor Relationships. We also talked Neighborhoods & Communities! Grateful to continue advising with this exceptional organization for the next 3 years! 50 new cohorts will start the journey in 2027! Such good stuff! Shout out to @the.booncommunity @therevcan @truthstable @truthstablefoundation @drcedmondson @sistatheology and Elijah! So proud of you! @dukedivinity #forumforcongregationallife #capacitybuilding

A great Sunday at @yadkinvilleumc . It was nice to be able to reflect on my times at @university.umc with people from @unc_wesley @dukedivinity @raleighwesley and @wakeforestwesley . It was nice to think about people like @dukegonia @duke_gonia @rachelgonia Bill Gattis and many more. Pine Grove @unitedmethodistchurch and now Yadkinville UMC. Pastor Sharon brought up John Wesley and talked about James. It’s always great to reflect on James and God’s grace. I felt inspired again by Matthew 7:7 as I look to help people and myself to remember John 8:7 and ask if I am doing Luke 23.34. The ability to recognize Matthew 5:28 and Psalm 51:4. Thank you Pastor Sharon and all who have helped me. Lessons from the past and what comes of the future bring me thoughts from Hymn of Promise. Finding messages from J.S. Bach. Let us meet and remember what Wesley said: That which Unites us is greater than that which divides us. #jesuschrist #umc

Y’all thought we were joking about that Netflix documentary? 👀🍿

Well, Netflix hasn’t called us (yet), but we do have a little something from the archives. 😂🎬

Last year, we teamed up with @dukedivinity and @bigdoglittlebedproductions to share a little of our story, including how faith, family, and a whole lot of community love helped shape the vision for The Capital Market.

And the timing couldn’t be better!

Last Saturday, October 3, we joined @ipldmv for a conversation exploring the intersections of faith, environmental justice, and food justice.

That conversation brought us right back to the roots of our work.

Because some seeds were planted long before The Capital Market had a name. 🌱

For generations, Black churches have been more than places of worship. They’ve been places of refuge, organizing, education, and community transformation.

At Gethsemane United Methodist Church, we're building on that legacy by reimagining how 17 acres of land can nourish our neighbors, support local farmers, create opportunities for young people, and sustain our community for generations to come.

And for us, this work is deeply personal. It's rooted in the legacy of Sharon Drakeford (😇), whose love of gardening and connection to the land remind us that planting seeds is as much an act of faith as it is an investment in the future. ❤️

Our story has always been about food, faith in community, caring for creation, stewardship, self-determination, a little audacity, and a whole lot of love.

So, while we wait for Netflix to get their act together, grab your popcorn and enjoy a little look at the seeds that started it all. 🍿🎬

These films were created for the Thriving Congregations Coordination Program (https://thrivingcongregations.org), which is conducted by Leadership Education at Duke Divinity and funded by Lilly Endowment Inc.
