Wade P. Chair of Homiletics
From the Columbia Theological Seminary:
"Dr. Love Sechrest, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty at Columbia Theological Seminary, announced that Dr. Jake Myers was elected by the Board of Trustees as the Wade P. Huie Associate Professor of Homiletics. The chair was established in 2004 through the generosity of then-Trustee William S. “Billy” Morris III to honor the legacy of Wade P. Huie, Jr. (’46). Dr. Huie served Columbia with distinction as professor of preaching for three decades beginning in 1957.
“Dr. Myers is an accomplished scholar and gifted teacher and is a wonderful choice for this appointment,” said Dean Sechrest. “In the Wade P. Huie Chair of Homiletics, he will play an important part in Columbia’s role of developing and nurturing faith leaders and thought leaders for the Church and the world.”
“Being appointed to the Wade P. Huie Chair of Homiletics is an amazing honor,” said Dr. Myers. “I know that he set the bar high during his tenure at Columbia, serving his students with ingenuity and verve. I, like Dr. Huie, am continuously motivated by our students, who truly believe they can change the world through their work.”
