Seminaries

Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School

For over 200 years Andover Newton has educated clergy and other religious leaders
dedicated to serving the church. Its theological commitment to educating toward transformative
involvement in society, rather than setting the church apart from society, has led Andover
Newton to take bold stances in the past against slavery, in favor of women’s ordination, toward
full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ candidates for ministry, and in the interest of promoting interfaith
understanding.

Yale Divinity School

The mission of the Divinity School is to foster the knowledge and love of God
through rigorous scholarly inquiry, the preparation of students for lives of transformative service,
the promotion of broad inclusivity and diversity in our communal life, encounter with the sacred
through music and the arts, and the advancement of the sustainability of the earth. Traditionally
and primarily Christian in character, the school welcomes persons of all faiths and those of no
faith.
