He holds a Master of Divinity from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Evanston, IL, and a Bachelor of Arts in Theater with a Minor in Dance from Henderson State University, Arkadelphia, AR. His research interest involves introducing a new concept called cultural metriopathy that measures how a persons passion is compelled within certain cultural groups to either move into action of advocacy or remain in cognitively dissonant in complacency toward societal ills. The goal of this research is to evaluate racial equity through empathy focused on self-restraint, sacrifice, and re-negotiating a new normal.
Advocate
YES! Advocate, activist, public servant... Rev. Summerville's work expands beyond the conventions of religious contexts. From his early years of becoming an Eagle Scout and serving as an Air Force Reserve Chaplain. A turning point into politics took shape from the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders in 2016, who inspired and led Rev. Summerville to be the top Elected Delegate of California's 48th Congressional District. Since then, his political goals have been to increase voter education, accessibility, and turnout. Without winning, Rev. Summerville successfully completed a hard-fought congressional run that has built solid momentum for him to eventually hold public office. The focus of his political advocacy and aspirations is to remain committed to the ideal of what it means to serve the people.
William Moses Summerville's purpose is contributing to create world peace through understanding and education.
