The "Other" Within: Multiple Selves Making a World of Difference
Get PDFDiversity challenges us by forcing us into encounters with the Other, the not-like-me/not-like-us.

Nurturing Inter-Spiritual Hearts and Interfaith Minds
Get PDFToday, we are regularly exposed to a panoply of competing ideas, beliefs, and practices. We no longer live in a time where one fixed perspective provides a foundation flexible enough to make sense of the rapidly changing and highly interdependent world.

A great internship opportunity can place a seminary student in an environment where God can work through the student in the lives of other people. Further, a great internship can provide an environment where God can work in the seminary student's own life to expand a greater understanding of God's call, deepen the student's Christ-like character, and further develop ministerial competencies
