We are excited and blessed to share that in recognition of the amazing life and legacy of our beloved Pastor Emeritus J. Alfred Smith Sr., the Board of Trustees of Berkeley School of Theology (BST) unanimously approved the creation of the J. Alfred Smith, Sr. Endowed Chair of Theology in the Public Square!

This endowed chair is part of the establishment of a new Center for Truth, Racial Healing and Restorative Justice made possible through the largest lead gift ever given to BST from the good people of First Baptist Church of Palo Alto and other donors of nearly $3 million, so far.
