Geddes W. Hanson, Princeton Theological Seminary’s Charlotte W. Newcombe Professor of Congregational Ministry, earned his S.T.B. from Harvard University Divinity School and his Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary. His research interests focus on the behavioral study of ministry as leadership within complex religious organizations, with a particular interest in the evolution of ministry over generations in racial ethnic minority congregations. He teaches courses on non-Christian religious options in urban communities, congregational analysis, the ministry and history of the traditional African American denominations, and administrative ministry. An ordained Presbyterian minister, he has been a member of both the General Assembly Mission Council of the United Presbyterian Church and the Executive Committee of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.
