The Very Rev. Kurt H. Dunkle
Dean and President
There is an odd feeling in schools every fall. Autumn brings a climate which speaks of slowness and preparation for winter. But, schools around the world begin anew, awash with freshness and hope for the coming year. How Anglican—how both/and!
General Seminary is experiencing that sense of both/and right now. Emerging from a turbulent year, we, too, are experiencing that freshness and hope for the new year. Read more...
One night last fall GTS seminarians, Tommie Watkins ’16 and Alex Barton ’17 sat at Community Dinner with the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers and hatched two plots: what if a group from The General Theological Seminary attended the 50th anniversary pilgrimage remembering Alabama Civil Rights martyr—and seminarian—Jonathan Daniels? And what if the same group kept driving up to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland, one of the only Episcopal churches to serve as a stop on the Underground Railroad? Read more...

Nancy Hennessey
M.Div. ’16
Where two or three are gathered in my name,
I am there among them. –Matthew 18:20
This verse resonated with me throughout my time at the 78th General Convention of The Episcopal Church held in Salt Lake City. This was my first General Convention and, while I knew my primary responsibility was to meet and greet alumni and friends of GTS, I was not ready for the overwhelming feeling that I was a part of something much larger than our booth in the exhibit hall.

As we celebrate our new and returning seminarians, and the beginning of a new chapter in the history of General Seminary, we are reminded of all God’s blessings on our community. In the midst of our challenges—Financial, Missional, and Cultural—we witness just how many people care deeply about the Seminary. A multitude of sisters and brothers have shown their continued faith and support through prayer, honest and challenging conversation, or tithing—often all of these! Read more...

![Matriculation Day at General Seminary [PHOTOS]](https://news.gts.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/DSC_3506-_1024-175x117.jpg)
At a service on the evening of September 24, 2015, fourteen entering students at The General Theological Seminary signed the Matriculation Book, the same book signed by the first class in 1822 and every entering class since. As “St. Patrick’s Breastplate” was played on the organ and sung by the congregation, each student processed to the front of the chapel as the GTS community witnessed his or her matriculation being recorded in the venerable book.
