Phillips Theological Seminary is a distinctive community for Christian inquiry and scholarship that seeks to be responsible both to the church and to the academy. The seminary offers challenging programs of graduate theological education that aim to prepare persons for lay or ordained ministries and leadership in the contemporary world – wherever faith leads. This catalog is an important guide to the programs and policies of Phillips Theological Seminary. We are eager to share our resources with you in the service of the church and the broader society. Related to and supported by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a mainline Protestant denomination, this seminary is ecumenical in spirit and practice. It is approved by the University Senate of the United Methodist Church for the training of candidates preparing for ordained ministry. In addition to the appointment of ministerial formation directors for these churches, others are appointed for the United Church of Christ, the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and various Baptist traditions. Our trustees, faculty, students, and staff represent numerous Christian communions. We are committed to mutuality in helping each person achieve his or her potential for theological insight, practical wisdom and effective leadership. Through coursework, worship, study, counseling, and communal life, our students, faculty, and staff work together to develop their gifts for faithful witness and service.
