David L. Weaver-Zercher Associate Professor of American Religious History Chair, Department of Biblical and Religious Studies My job is easier because I'm blessed to have colleagues who are top-notch scholars, excellent teachers, and good mentors. We push our students academically, but we're also ready for relaxed conversations in our offices about all sorts of things. As department chair, I don't teach as many courses as some faculty members. This year I'm teaching a First-Year Seminar, a section of Messiah's "core" course, and a course called "Religion in the United States." Much of my research and writing focuses on the Amish, including a new book on the Nickel Mines school shooting called Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy. My life away from Messiah revolves around my family, which includes my wife Valerie and three boys (ages 6, 4, and 2). On Sunday afternoons we host a house church in our home--which we find a great way to make our Christian faith an integral part of our "regular" lives.
