The Reverend Dr. Luke A. Powery of Princeton Theological Seminary will become the new dean of Duke Chapel, Duke University President Richard Brodhead announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Powery, 38, will start his new position on Sept. 1. He succeeds the Rev. Dr. Samuel Wells, who returned to England this summer to become the vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London.<\/p>\n

Powery, who will be the first black dean of Duke Chapel, has taught at Princeton Theological Seminary since 2006, where he is the Perry and Georgia Engle assistant professor of homiletics. He has taught courses and lectured at numerous other educational institutions and has been a frequent guest preacher and singer at various congregations and conferences. A video of his sermon at Duke Chapel this past June 24 is available online.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuke Powery is a compelling preacher whose gifts of mind and heart will be evident to all who hear him,\u201d Brodhead said. \u201cHe will give a powerful presence to the life of the spirit and will connect with every part of our community \u2014 students, faculty, staff and our Durham neighbors.\u201d
