What
I love about Hartford Seminary is standing together on the edge of
tomorrow. We share this cutting edge in our continuing dialogue of
Muslim-Christian relations; in our national research of religious
trends in congregations of every faith community; in programs for
leadership of Black Church, Hispanic Ministry, and Women’s
Spirituality; and in Masters level courses that together strengthen
lay leaders and provide foundations for denominational ordination and
other graduate degrees. No other seminary even comes close to
that degree of diversity in my experiences of real time and virtual
classrooms. As members of the faculty, each grounded in a
classic academic discipline, we are stretched by an amazing variety of
students to examine how each faith group keeps its vitality in this
exciting and sometimes threatening world. More than helping them
care for their own, I am most excited when these young leaders help
their faith communities to make a significant impact among the people
of their neighborhoods, and in a physically and spiritually hungry
world.
