Harold Doc Trulear named new director of the Black Congregations Resource Center at the Howard University School of Divinity

August 1, 2024

“The Black Congregations Resource Center at the Howard University School of Divinity (HUSD) is pleased to announce the appointment of Harold Dean Trulear, Ph.D. [Leading with Conviction™ 2017], as its new director. Trulear, an esteemed faculty member and associate professor of Applied Theology at the University, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this role.

“In this role, Trulear will lead efforts to develop a comprehensive set of resources aimed at supporting clergy, lay leaders, seminarians, and theological educators. Thanks to a generous $1.25 million grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc., this initiative will empower African American preachers and congregations by equipping them with the necessary tools to address social justice issues, enhance congregational care, and deliver impactful sermons.

“‘My appointment as the director of the Black Congregations Resource Center is the most significant opportunity of my 46 years in theological education. The Center, an outgrowth of the 2013 ‘Equipping the Saints’ initiative under Dr. Alton Pollard, equips clergy and lay leadership with thoughtful research and practical ideas,’ said Trulear. ‘While its mission points to HUSD’s future, it honors the tradition of Howard’s Institute of Religion and other efforts that reflect HUSD’s unique role as the only theological school within a historically Black research university. Through research, webinars, podcasts, convenings, and our website, the center will be a major resource for Black congregations.’”
