She is also the author of Ferguson and Faith: Sparking Leadership and Awakening Community and this year’s 2019 Stoutemire lecturer in multicultural ministry. For Ferguson and Faith, Dr. Gunning Francis interviewed more than two dozen clergy and young activists who were actively involved in the movement for racial justice in Ferguson and beyond. She researched and wrote Ferguson and Faith while serving at Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Gunning Francis sat down with Dr. Kyle Small to discuss her time in Ferguson and what it means for the church to be engaged in the work of justice.
