Dr. Jennifer S. Leath joined the Iliff faculty in 2015 as assistant professor of religion and social justice. Leath’s research concentrates on the intersection of sexualities and religions in sacred communities and spaces of African Diaspora. Her scholarship also engages the intersection of Afro-Diasporic women’s spiritualities and social activism. Bridging concerns of religious ethics and African American studies, much of her current writing and teaching focuses on the sexual ethics and economies of historically Black churches and Afro-Diasporic religion in the United States.

Dr. Leath is also an Itinerant Elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church where she has served as pastor in White Plains, New York and in Media, Pennsylvania, and she has served as an associate pastor at churches in Philadelphia, New York, and New England.

Rev. Jenny Shultz-Thomas, Senior Pastor at First Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ in Englewood, CO and Rev. Dr. Eric C. Smith, Assistant Professor of Early Christianity and Contemporary Christian Practices at Iliff School of Theology and Teaching Minister at First Plymouth moderate this podcast on “Sacred Texts at the Intersection of Faith, Life and Politics.”
