York Association has raised a question about the vaccine and the role of church leaders. There is information circulating through a variety of sources that are conflicting making it hard to determine what church leaders should do in this environment and what advice they should give to their congregation. In an effort to help answer these concerns and questions, I have invited Rev. Dr. Dwight Stinnett to help us better understand our role and what advise we should be giving to our congregations.
Dr. Stinnett served as Executive Minister for the Great Rivers Region. Prior to serving the Great Rivers Region, Dwight received the Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from the University of Alabama in 1971, and the Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Georgia in 1974. Dwight then accepted a postdoctoral appointment at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, where he conducted immunopharmacology research related to cancer and tissue transplantation. The University of Cincinnati Medical Center appointed Dwight to their faculty in 1975.
There he was a tenured Associate Professor, Associate Director of the Surgical Immunobiology Laboratory, and Director of Basic Research for the Shriners’ Burns Institute. His research was supported by grants and contracts from the National Institutes of Health, American Cancer Society, and various pharmaceutical companies.
Dr. Stinnett’s honors have included the Sigma Xi award for excellence in research, listing in Who’s Who in Frontier Science and Technology, and service on the editorial boards of many scientific journals. His work has been published in 35 scientific journal articles and in 14 books.
Dwight's primary concern is for local congregations, their health and vitality. I am looking forward to this meeting and ask you to bring your questions and concerns about the vaccine and your role as a church leader.
Our next Zoom Meeting will be held on February 25th at 7:00 pm.
