DIVERSITY = OUR GREATEST STRENGTH
Each graduating class gives us the opportunity to embrace diversity in our cultures and marry them with Christianity and through the study of preaching.
Participating Schools
Participants interested in the program apply through one of these seminaries. Once admitted, participants pay tuition to their particular seminary and graduate from that seminary.
The diversity of faith traditions provides a broader perspective on both ecuminicity and variety of preaching styles available for proclaiming the Gospel. In the classroom and during informal gatherings, exchanges among participants from a variety of backgrounds and traditions add to the learning experience.
