Here's what some of our alumni/ae have to say about the impact Iliff made on them and their impact on the world.

"Iliff helped me identify my voice and rise as the agent of change I am created to be. We are the ones we've been waiting for." - Daryl Jerome Walker, MDiv 2021, Minister of Worship and Arts at Park Hill United Methodist Church, Denver, CO

"Dr. Harvey Potthoff formed my theology, and I continue in his spirit as a 'process' theologian, writing a book The Gift of Live; teaching 'Beyond Death,' 'Religion and Science,' and 'Nature and Spirit;' and [caring] for God's creation. I find my strength in God that Iliff gave birth in me." - Rev. Dr. Sally Lentz Palmer, MDiv 1978, who works with the Wyoming Interfaith Network and presented at the Iliff symposium

"In powerlifting, bracing is a technique that lifters use to protect their back. To brace, a lifter breathes in deeply and holds tension in their torso so it's like like an unopened soda can. Iliff has impacted me and my work by giving me a space to practice taking in deeply the wisdom and learning from different sources; learn to hold them in tension with one another and myself; and find a profound strength in myself and others by learning to hold the tension. I'm making an impact on the world by helping the communities I serve acknowledge and learn to hold tension in community." Rev. Brian Lee, MDiv 2023, Lead Pastor at Simpson United Methodist Church in Arvada, CO
