Baltimore clergy member & author to lead “Lunch and Learn” discussion about Obama presidency

The Rev. C. Anthony Hunt will lead a “Lunch and Learn” group discussion on the topic “A Year After — Obama and Holding on to Hope” at noon Friday, Feb. 26, in the Stevenson Center Learning Commons at Ohio University-Chillicothe. The event, which is sponsored by the OU-C Cultural Committee and commemorates Black History Month, is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. The Rev. Hunt, an ordained elder, currently serves as superintendent of the Baltimore Metropolitan District of the United Methodist Church. He is a professor at St. Mary’s Seminar and University and is the author of more than 50 published articles and chapters related to church and society and several books, including And Yet the Melody Lingers: Essays, Sermons and Prayers on Religion and Race. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, his MBA from Troy State University, a master of divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary, a Ph.D. from the Graduate Theological Foundation in South Bend, Ind., and he has completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton University’s Center of Theological Inquiry. After Rev. Hunt speaks, there will be an opportunity for those in attendance to participate in a group discussion. “This event offers an opportunity for campus and community members to interact in a discussion that is topical and of interest,” said OU-C Head Librarian Allan Pollchik, a member of the cultural committee. “This discussion is part of our ongoing effort to engage with members of the local community and further build an intellectual community.” The speaker will be participating in other events in the community.
