Overview

Both seminarians and the larger community have many opportunities throughout the year to participate in worship that reflects the richness of the various streams within our collective faith traditions. During the academic year students lead worship, bringing the traditions of their own backgrounds and sharing them as we come together before God. Two sessions of Summer Academy, as well as a series of lectures and workshops throughout the year provide other venues for spiritual and intellectual exploration.

As a Christian community of learning, the seminary community expects all members to show respect for one another, including care for the personal well-being and faith development of others and sensitivity to personal differences, including racial, sexual, ethnic and religious diversity. In celebration of our diversity the seminary also hosts LGBT Week each fall and African American Heritage Celebration in the spring. The LTS Allies group also organizes a variety of events throughout the year for LGTB seminarians and their supporters.
