Finding a Church to Call Home

About

Seminarians Joy E. Bronson and Rev. Issac Broune explore finding acceptance, extending hospitality to all.

Joy Bronson is a third-year master of divinity student at Vanderbilt Divinity School in Nashville, Tenn., where she works in the Office of the University Chaplain and Religious Life. She is a candidate for ordination as a deacon in the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church. Currently, she is developing a peace and justice ministry focused around helping communities and people of faith discern their work in creating and sustaining God-centered communities.

The Rev. Isaac Broune, a United Methodist clergyman from Cote d’Ivoire, is a pastor and journalist serving in his home nation. He works for United Methodist Communications (UMCom), staffing the French-language news desk. He also produces radio programming in Cote d’Ivoire. He earned his master of divinity degree in 2018 from Vanderbilt Divinity School in Nashville, Tenn.


This resource was designed with a United Methodist perspective, but we believe the content is also relevant for non-UMC seekers who are doing anti-racism work with a spiritual foundation.
