大卫梁 came to SPU to oversee the Global and Urban Ministry minor in 2008. Prior to teaching at SPU, he served in churches in urban 西雅图 through ministries focused on community groups and neighborhood involvement.
Dr. Leong’s teaching and research examine the theological meaning of the city in an increasingly globalized and urbanized world. At the intersection of intercultural and missiological discourse, he sees the city as a rich context for theological reflection about topics ranging from hip hop and the built environment to multiculturalism and missional ecclesiology. Dr. Leong lives in 西雅图's Rainier Valley with his wife and two sons, and together they worship at Rainier Avenue Church.

种族和地点: How Urban Geography Shapes the Journey to Reconciliation
IVP图书，2017年
地理位置重要. We long for diverse, thriving neighborhoods and churches, yet racial injustices persist. 为什么? Because geographic structures and systems create barriers to reconciliation and prevent the flourishing of our communities. 种族和地点 reveals the profound ways in which these geographic forces and structures sustain the divisions among us. Urban missiologist 大卫梁, who resides in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the country, unpacks the systemic challenges that are rarely addressed in the conversation about racial justice. The evening news may deliver story after story that causes us to despair. But Leong envisions a future of belonging and hope in our streets, towns, cities, and churches. A discussion about race needs to go hand in hand with a discussion about place. This book is a welcome addition to a conversation that needs to include both.
路牌: Toward a Missional Theology of Urban Cultural Engagement
匹克威克,2012
路牌 is an engaging missiological inquiry into the cultural and theological meaning of the city. Through the lens of 西雅图's Rainier Valley, one of the most ethnically and socioeonomically diverse communities in the US, this work constructs an urban, missional, and contextual theology shaped by the local realities of urban neighborhoods but relevant to cities everywhere. Focused on the themes of incarnation, 对抗, 和想象力, 路牌 explores the contours of missional theology in urban contexts marked by physical density, 社会的多样性, and economic disparity, utilizing creative research methods such as urban exegesis, 文化符号学, and theology of the built environment.
