Rev. Dr. Chris RayAlexander 

After a decade in higher education as a professor of Spanish-language literature, history, and culture, Rev. Dr. Chris RayAlexander completed an MDiv at Emory’s Candler School of Theology and dove into a full-time career in interfaith relationship building. His current research focuses on the intersection of pluralism, practical theology of religions, and youth spiritual formation. He is passionate about creating a more humane and unified world through interfaith advocacy, education, and community cultivation. He is Program Director at Interfaith Children’s Movement, a Board Member of Interfaith Atlanta, Support Chair for its youth organization, Interfaith Atlanta Youth (IAY), Minister for Interfaith Engagement at First Congregational Church of Atlanta, UCC, and Cohort Lead for the Religious Leaders sector of Interfaith America’s Interfaith at Work Cohort. Chris serves as an interfaith consultant in his community, and in his free time he translates philosophy as a member of the French Metaphysics Translation Project. He lives in Atlanta with his partner, their sons, and a pile of philosophy and theology books that constantly remind him of his own mortal finitude.
