The meeting takes place at Union Theological Seminary. Union has always embodied the freedom to learn and the freedom to teach—ideals that may be more critical than ever to society at this moment in history. Founded in 1836, Union forged a new vision for theological education: to center ministerial training in an urban context so that academic excellence and personal faith might respond to the needs of the city.
The Seminary continues to reform itself in response to the changing needs of the world and an evolving understanding of what it means to be faithful. Education at Union Theological Seminary is deeply rooted in a critical understanding of the breadth of traditions and significantly instructed by the insights of other faiths. It makes connections between these traditions and the most profoundly challenging issues of our contemporary experience: the realities of suffering and injustice, world religious pluralism, the fragility of our planet, and discoveries of modern science.
