Prof. Timothy Adkins-Jones published in Christian Century
The following is an excerpt from the Christian Century article “The limits of our convictions (Romans 14:1-12)” by Assistant Professor of Homiletics Timothy Adkins-Jones ('09,'21) published on September 11, 2026. The views and opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Boston University School of Theology, its employees, faculty, or students.
Christians have various ways of expressing a key idea: that there are some tenets of the faith that we must agree upon and others that are more fluidly understood. Somewhat counterintuitively, Paul’s instruction on how we should manage our interactions around these differing beliefs is not to hold our convictions more lightly. Instead, we are told to hold fast to our beliefs and in effect to believe what we believe even more vehemently.
The line that feels most instructive in this week’s passage comes in verse 5: “Let all be fully convinced in their own minds.” Believe what you believe, believe it in full—but believe it for yourself. This is a verse that should resonate with these days of virtual echo chambers and algorithmic reinforcement. Not only can we believe what we believe, but often we can find a community of people who believe it too. There is part of me, then, that wishes Paul challenged this, that he offered some more convicting words for our times.

Alum Dr. Pamela Jolly (’09) has published “A Different Kind of Wealth”
Alum Dr. Pamela Jolly has recently published her latest book titled, "A Different Kind of Wealth."
Find an excerpt of the new book below:
A Different Kind of Wealth invites readers to rethink wealth in a divided, uncertain, and rapidly changing world. Through twelve historic inflection points in America’s journey, Dr. Pamela Jolly helps readers examine how inherited moments of change still live within us—shaping how we see ourselves, one another, and the future we are responsible for building.
Written for people of all backgrounds, this book is a historical reflection, a guided inquiry, and a call to own and invest your difference. Dr. Jolly invites readers to consider how history, identity, family, culture, experience, and personal conviction shape the way they move through the world and participate in America’s unfolding story.
At its heart, A Different Kind of Wealth reminds us that every life carries a unique story embedded within America’s shared legacy narrative. When we understand how that inherited legacy lives within us, our difference becomes more than something to name; it becomes something to steward, invest, and offer toward the future wealth of our nation."
Dr. Pamela C.V. Jolly is a strategist, author, speaker, and founder of Torch Enterprises Inc., a strategic investment and advisory firm focused on ownership, legacy wealth, and the long-term systems that shape economic outcomes. For more than two decades, she has worked with entrepreneurs, institutions, communities, and leaders across the country, helping them think more clearly about wealth, identity, strategy, and impact.
Her work lives at the intersection of finance, history, culture, faith, and systems thinking. Through research, writing, and advisory practice, Dr. Jolly invites people to examine the stories they have inherited, the opportunities they are responsible for stewarding, and the future they are called to help build.
A graduate of Hampton University, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Boston University School of Theology, and the Graduate Theological Foundation, she brings a rare convergence of business strategy, theological reflection, and culturally grounded inquiry to everything she does. She is also the creator of the NarrowRoad™ framework — a body of work designed to help individuals and communities create, build, grow, and expand wealth with greater clarity and purpose.

Dr. Charles C. Daniels, Jr. (MDiv’20) is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, scholar, author, and nationally recognized leader whose work sits at the intersection of fatherhood, mental health, and racial equity. He is the co-founder and CEO of Fathers’ UpLift, the nation’s first mental health and substance use treatment organization built specifically to serve fathers and families, helping men overcome barriers, strengthen their emotional well-being, and become more engaged in their children’s lives.
For more than a decade, Dr. Daniels has worked extensively with Black fathers and families, addressing the trauma, stigma, and systemic barriers that can contribute to father absence and family disconnection. His work challenges deficit-based narratives about fathers by focusing on their capacity to heal, reconnect, and remain present.
He is the author of Present: The Crisis of American Fatherhood and the Power of Showing Up (Convergent, Penguin Random House), which examines why fathers disengage, the barriers that can keep them away, and the courageous journeys of men working to reconnect with their children. Through his clinical practice, research, writing, and advocacy, Dr. Daniels is helping reshape how communities and systems understand, engage, and support fathers.

Hanna Dias, a Brazilian graduate student at Boston University School of Theology who served as a facilitator, said the program also affirms participants’ cultural identity.
As an Afro-Brazilian woman studying in the United States, Dias understands the challenges of adapting to a new culture while remaining true to one’s identity.
“I didn’t come to this country to stop being Brazilian,” she said. “I came to study and serve my community with the knowledge I gain here.”

Mr. Gary D. Bryant, (’74)
This obituary was originally published by The Lawrence Times and can be found here
Gary D. Bryant, 81, passed away on July 29, 2025 at his home in Rio Verde, AZ. He was born on October 30, 1943 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Wyle Devon “Dee” and LeIsle “Lee” Bryant, and grew up in Wabash, Indiana. A talented trumpet player, Gary spent his summers playing at Culver Academy—an early expression of his lifelong love for music.
He graduated from DePauw University in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. He went on to earn a Master of Theology and Ministry from Colgate Rochester Divinity School in 1970 and a Master of Social Ethics from Boston University in 1975.
After his undergraduate work he and his ex-wife, Johannah Bryant, participated in the Vista Volunteer program working with underserved populations in the U.S.
Gary dedicated his life to ministry within the United Church of Christ (UCC). He began his pastoral career as Associate Pastor at Plymouth Congregational Church, in Lawrence, Kansas, where he worked closely with the youth, led groups, and delivered memorable children’s sermons each Sunday. He later served numerous UCC congregations in Onega, Topeka and Kansas City, Kansas, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Denver, Colorado, as an interim pastor, guiding them through times of transition with wisdom, compassion, and care. His conflict management skills, humor, and counseling background were ideal for work as an interim minister. He also served as Associate Conference Minister for the Southwest Conference of the UCC for about 9 years while living in Phoenix, AZ, supporting churches and clergy across the region.
He spent many years in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and in the later part of his career, served a small and close-knit congregation in Collbran, Colorado, until his retirement.
Gary had a sharp mind, a thoughtful nature, and a remarkable sense of humor. He used jokes and light-heartedness to ease tension and bring comfort to others—both in his ministry and in everyday life. As an adult, he developed a love for tennis, enjoying the game as both a physical challenge and a social joy. Gary loved being outside hiking, photographing nature, taking on the challenge of a new creative outlet, watching KU basketball, and listening to music. Whether in a pulpit, on a tennis court, or around the dinner table, Gary had a gift for putting people at ease and making them feel seen and valued.
He is survived by his loving wife, Linda Carlson Shaw; his daughters Leticia Cole (Jason) and Sarah Maier (Andy); and his stepdaughters Christie Shaw Ulichny (Mike) and Krystal Shaw. He was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren: Carson Cole, Cali Cole, Emery Cole, Ella Maier, Owen Maier, Mackenzie Maier, Jonah Ulichny, and Madelyn Ulichny. He is also survived by his brothers, Gregg Bryant (Sherry) and Gene Bryant.
Gary will be remembered for his deep faith, his generous spirit, his humor, and the countless lives he touched through his ministry, his presence, and his love.
There will be an informal memorial for Gary on November 15th, 2025 at 10:00 AM in the Mayflower Room at Plymouth Congregational Church.
