Dr. Elisabeth Kimball

Dr. Elisabeth Kimball’s personal journey into faith formationbegan in college when she was asked, “When did you firstaccept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?” Though she hadbeen raised to attend church consistently, that questionsparked a determination to go beyond following the habits ofchurch, and seek an understanding of how being a followerof Christ changes a person.This week, we talk with Dr. Kimball, who will retire and endher tenure as the Vice President for Lifelong Learning atVirginia Theological Seminary.  She speaks about the originof her work, teaching students how to seek a deeperperspective of discipleship.  She shares with us a core beliefthat a person of any age, even an infant, has gifts given byGod to share with us, and how children are not just a part ofthe church, but that they are the Church.
