This past March, I had the pleasure of joining other students at the Seminarians of Color Conference in Oviedo, Florida, near Orlando. We gathered at the Canterbury Retreat Center for the Diocese of Central Florida, under the conference’s theme, “Gathering around the Jesus Movement: Evangelism and Rec- onciliation.” Three seminarians from General attended: Michael Horvath, Deborah Lee and Sharon Sutton. In total six Episcopal seminaries and three non-Episcopal seminaries were repre- sented. We were diverse in ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious background, and upbringing; but united in our love and desire to serve Christ in his Church and in our love of the In our opening session, we discussed how race figures into Episcopal Church as well. our lives and ministries.

It’s clear that the work of anti-racism has to permeate all levels of the Church. Of great value as well was the session with local clergy of color who shared their experiences of ordained life.

Our goals from the conference were captured in a grid titled “What could seminaries do to make their institutions a safe place for seminarians of color?” Areas of focus included: prac- tices around hiring and recruitment, cultural education and training, liturgy inclusive of diverse cultures, establishing and implementing diverse curricula, and implementing campus- wide cultural awareness.

At General Seminary, we have shared ideas with Dean Dunkle regarding possible initiatives that would benefit all students at General, building upon the legacy of seminarian education and formation for which the Seminary is known.
