What is the Christian EducatorsDiversity Alliance?
The Christian Educators Diversity Alliance was created to help Christian schools create more equitable learning environments through understanding God’s creation of diversity and His purpose with it.
Our Vision
The Christian Educators Diversity Alliance is committed to helping Christian educators strive for diverse and inclusive communities through attraction, training, and retention efforts.
Our Mission
Assist Christian educators with dialogue, fellowship, and training through a Biblical lens on diversity, equity and inclusion.
Our Values
Mark 12:30-31: develop a platform to follow Christ’s commands to love our neighbors as ourselves
Revelation 7:9: create an environment throughout the Christian school community that is reflective of John’s vision of heaven
How we got started
Seeing the need for dialogue, training, and collaboration, Jenny Brady, Joel Hazard, and David Robinson created the Christian Educators Diversity Symposium in 2018 bringing together schools from across the nation to dive deep into a discussion of Biblical diversity, equity and inclusion. Through the symposium, training, consulting and speaking, the Christian Educators Diversity Alliance was created with the goal of walking alongside Christian schools and educators in diversity, equity and inclusion work.
