School of Theology
As one School of Theology with two campuses — Moravian Theological Seminary and Lancaster Theological Seminary — we honor a common curriculum and assure our students, alumni, and friends that we share these commitments.
They will shape our work in curriculum development, teaching, worship, and common life. Although we cannot claim that we have fulfilled these commitments fully, we do aspire to live them out and hold ourselves accountable to them.
- We honor the heritage of both Moravian and Lancaster seminaries, including the distinctive ways in which each school expresses ecumenical and interfaith diversity.
- We aspire to build learning communities in which every person experiences agency and belonging.
- We affirm that diversity of all kinds benefits our common learning and personal formation.
- We strive to build a community life marked by love of God and neighbor, expressed in a life that is respectful of all races and nationalities, anti-racist, open and affirming toward LGBTQIA+ persons, and accessible to all.
- We promote deep engagement with Christian traditions and other spiritual heritages, with openness to diverse expressions and emerging perspectives. We value critical reflection on self, society, church, and faith.
- We promote a community that involves the whole person: understanding, practicing, and being.
