The Louisville Institute, an organization supporting those who lead and study North American religious institutions, has named Edwin I. Hernández, president of AdventHealth University, as its next executive director. The institute is based at the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and is funded by the Lilly Endowment, a private philanthropic foundation. Hernández has been president of AdventHealth University since 2017.
I am delighted to learn that Dr. Hernández is going to be the next director of the Louisville Institute. He has been a pioneer in the field promoting the enabling of enlightened leaders for the advancement of Christianity in the confusing times in which we live. I applaud the decision to chose him for this post and I congratulate Dr. Hernández for the appointment. I wish him a most successful time serving in the fulfilment of the Institute’s mission, and all the blessing that God does graciously shower on his servants.
Congratulations to Dr Edwin Hernandez for his appointment to this important post to those studying religious groups in the USA. The Louisville Institute twice in the 1990s helped to fund my research travels when I was interviewing Adventists around the world for my study of global Adventism. Such funding makes important research possible. It is exciting now, Ed, to see you as heading that important organization.
