Rev. Ridgeway Addison, a native North Carolinian and ordained Baptist minister, has worked with students, staff, and faculty from a variety of denominational backgrounds and theological perspectives as a preacher, chaplain, musician, and professor since arriving in Washington, DC in 1999.

If you are into any of these things (and even if you're not) he looks forward to seeing you in LXR or around campus.
