Dr. Jacob Myers, Associate Professor of Homiletics at Columbia Theological Seminary
Laughter and Christianity have been at odds for much of Church history. In this lecture, we’ll explore the untapped potential of laughter and comedy to forge deeper connections, and to mend social and political divisions. Looking through the lens of stand-up comedy, we’ll see how certain forms of humor and comedy stand ready to open our hearts and minds to the differences that divide us.
