Greetings from the Interim Academic Dean
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the faculty of Hartford Seminary. As you scroll through the faculty profiles andclick the links or photos, you will meet an extraordinary group of people.
Among them, you will find world-renowned scholars, powerful preachers, creative thinkers, compassionate counselors, community organizers, spiritual enablers, and outstanding teachers. You will also see that this faculty is diverse in terms of race and ethnicity, age, gender, religious perspectives, educational experiences, and international backgrounds. But, as different as each member is, they are uniformly committed to Hartford Seminary’s historic and progressive scholarship and teaching in leadership development and practice of ministry, interfaith dialogue, and Islamic studies and Christian-Muslim relations.
Please learn more about us through this website, but I hope you get to know us in person.
Sincerely,
Scott Thumma, Ph.D.
