HUSOR STUDENT SPOTLIGHT | REV. CLARENCE J. PARKS, J.D., M.Div.

The Hampton University School of Religion is proud to spotlight Rev. Clarence J. Parks, J.D., M.Div., a third year doctoral student in the Ph.D. Program in Public Theology and Community Engagement.

Rev. Parks chose HUSOR because of its unique approach to theological education and its commitment to examining theology through the lens of the African American experience. As Senior Pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., he values the opportunity to apply what he learns in the classroom directly to his ministry and the community he serves.

When asked what he enjoys most about his experience at HUSOR, Rev. Parks shared:

“What I have enjoyed the most is the instruction and interaction with the very astute faculty and highly accomplished cohort colleagues. As it is said, ‘iron sharpens iron.’ Indeed, I have been sharpened because of the instruction and interactions I have with faculty and colleagues.”

Rev. Parks' journey reflects HUSOR's commitment to preparing scholars and ministry leaders who connect theological education with the needs of today's churches and communities.

We are proud to celebrate Rev. Clarence J. Parks and his continued academic and ministerial journey at Hampton University School of Religion!

HUSOR FACULTY SPOTLIGHT | DR. TADY EMMANUEL ENGULU

The Hampton University School of Religion is pleased to recognize Dr. Tady Emmanuel Engulu, an adjunct professor whose teaching and scholarship reflect a deep commitment to faith, justice, and community engagement.

Dr. Engulu brings more than eight years of teaching experience to HUSOR, where he teaches graduate courses including Ecclesiology & Contemporary Society and Critical Issues in Community Engagement & Advocacy. His work explores the connection between theology, the Black Church, and the role of faith in addressing contemporary issues.

When asked what he enjoys most about teaching at HUSOR, Dr. Engulu shared:

“What I enjoy most is teaching within a tradition that never separates faith from justice. Hampton students bring real ministry experience and real questions to the classroom, and that makes our conversations about Scripture, doctrine, and the Black Church feel alive rather than abstract.”

We are grateful for Dr. Engulu's dedication to theological education and the knowledge, perspective, and experience he brings to our students and the HUSOR community.

Faith in Action. Scholarship with Purpose. Leadership for Service.

Emotional Wellness Month | Finding Peace in the Midst of Stress

October is Emotional Wellness Month, a reminder of the importance of caring for our mental and emotional health.

Hampton University School of Religion recognizes that the demands of ministry, leadership, education, and everyday life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Taking time to rest, reflect, and care for ourselves is essential to our overall well being.

In the article “Stress: A Matter of Choice: Christian Emotional Wellness,” Linda Goldfarb shares practical ways to manage stress through faith, prayer, healthy boundaries, adequate rest, and making time for the things that bring us joy.

As we observe Emotional Wellness Month, we encourage our HUSOR community to take a moment to reflect on how we manage stress and make room for personal and spiritual renewal.

What is one thing you can do this month to better care for your emotional wellness?

🙏🏾 Trust God. Trust the Process. Trust the Path.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)

When the way forward feels uncertain, we are reminded that our faith does not rest in having all the answers, it rests in trusting the One who does. May we surrender our plans, seek God’s direction, and walk confidently in the path He has prepared for us.

Hampton University School of Religion invites you to carry this Word with you throughout the week: Trust Him, even when you cannot trace Him. 💙🙏🏾

The Hampton University School of Religion (HUSOR) is proud to spotlight Earlin Avant Moore, Jr., a student in the Master of Divinity in Pastoral Leadership program. Beginning his journey in Fall 2025 and anticipating graduation in 2027, Earlin views his time at Hampton as both a privilege and a response to God’s continued call on his life.

As his first HBCU experience, Hampton has broadened Earlin’s theological perspective, strengthened his faith, and challenged him to grow as a scholar and servant leader. HUSOR’s guiding principle, “Scholarship is Ministry,” continues to shape his educational and spiritual journey.

Guided by Isaiah 43:26 and Isaiah 55:11, Earlin remains grounded in prayer and confident in the power and faithfulness of God’s Word. Inspired by John 9:4 and Matthew 5:14, he sees his Hampton experience as preparation for even greater Kingdom service.
