MEET OUR 2027 ACADEMY FACULTY
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Lakisha Lockhart-Rusch and Rev. Daniel Wolpert.

Dr. Lakisha Lockhart-Rusch is a theologian, educator, and ordained minister whose work explores the sacred possibilities of play, creativity, embodiment, and joy, inviting us to discover how play can open spaces for healing, liberation, and encounter with God.

Rev. Daniel Wolpert is a pastor, spiritual director, retreat leader, and prolific author on prayer and spiritual practices, helping us discover how ancient contemplative practices can shape our everyday lives with God.

Through rhythms of study and prayer, silence and liturgy, solitude and community, we will seek the wellspring of joy that flows from the depths of God’s love.

Beloved Academy Friends,

You may have encountered our beloved Rev. Kay Lancaster at an Academy or at any number of spiritual formation pilgrimages. We mourn our loss even as we fondly remember the love Kay poured into this world.

A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, September 2 at 11:00 am at First United Methodist Church of Arlington, with a reception to follow in the Great Hall. You can join on First UMC Arlington’s page for a livestream option.

Flowers or donations in Kay’s honor may be made to First United Methodist Church of Arlington.

May peace be with all who mourn. May our tears be reminders of the hope into which Kay—and we—are baptized. The hope which she now fully realizes.

Yesterday we remembered our calling as a water-washed and Spirit-born people. We are bound to Christ and to each other; woven together in a pattern of grace, we are able to bear one another's burdens.

What a beautiful beginning to our 2025 Academy! Amy Oden and Ray Buckley have gifted us with great wisdom in our plenary sessions; Bishop Ruben Saenz preaching; and another day walking a monastic pattern of worship and silence. Together, we are seeking clarity in the chaos while searching for the holy in the ordinary.
