Blair Trygstad Stowe

Reverend Blair Trygstad Stowe ist lebenslang Methodistin und wurde 2021 als Ordination zur Ältesten in voller Verbindung mit der California Pacific Annual Conference geweiht. Reverend Stowe diente Gemeinden im ländlichen Georgia, im städtischen Los Angeles, im Inland Empire und in den Vororten von Massachusetts. Jeder ihrer pastoralen Dienstbereiche umfasste die Entwicklung neuer Dienste für junge und aufstrebende Generationen sowie die Revitalisierung historischer Gemeinden. 

Rev. Stowe’s academic work is in the field of Practical Theology with a specialization in Evangelism and Missiology. Her dissertation (in progress) is a feminist critical and constructive engagement with contemporary Protestant studies in Evangelism, building on the work of Letty M. Russell.  Since 2017, Rev. Stowe has served on the advisory board for the World Methodist Evangelism Institute, a joint project of Emory University Candler School of Theology and the World Methodist Council.

Rev. Stowe teaches and trains in the academy and churches in various areas of pastoral ministry, church leadership and administration, congregational development, spirituality and discipleship, intergenerational spirituality, intercultural and community engagement, and practical application of liberation theologies. Rev. Stowe is a proud contributor to The Progressive Christians Podcast and serves the Westwood UMC community (CST’s physical home) as Public Theologian in Residence. She lives in West Hollywood with her family and loves biking down Santa Monica Blvd to come to work at CST.
