Durfee Company of Providence, Rhode Island. The chimes are rung mechanically each morning and evening, where they are heard throughout the neighborhood of Chelsea, calling the Seminary community together for our corporate worship. Read more...

General Seminary’s website is getting a major face lift!
Since before his arrival, Dean DeLashmutt has been working with the creative team at Percepti.co to develop the structure of a new site. We are at the stage in development where we need to acquire photo and video content.
To help with this, throughout next week a small team of photographers and videographers will join us on the Close to film interviews with faculty, staff and students and capture pictures throughout the campus (classrooms, chapel, library, refectory, etc.). 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...

The General Theological Seminary
In January of 2014, the faculty of General Theological Seminary returned from a retreat in Florida with new ideas about theological education. We had engaged with each other for the inside of a week. We heard Tom Brackett of the Episcopal Church Center, who works in Church Planting and Ministry Redevelopment, via a Skype presentation. Read more...
The faithful began hiking to Santiago in at least the twelfth century, enacting their belief that St. James had been the first to bring Christianity to Spain. The Rev. Craig Townsend, from St. James’ Church on the UES is leading a group of pilgrims on a 70-mile hike to Santiago de Compostela this summer. There are several ancient routes; the one they’ll take is known as the Camino Portugues, or Portuguese Road, as it begins in Lisbon and leads northward. Read more...
