Seabury Faculty
Susan Harlow

Congregations of all sizes, in all locales, need health, vitality, and a strong mission focus in order to do this work. In directing Seabury’s Doctor of Ministry programs, Harlow hopes to play an important role in this endeavor. She is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and has taught for 17 years in theological education. A graduate of Hollins University, Harlow earned her Master of Divinity at Andover Newton Theological School and a Masters of Theology at Harvard Divinity School. Her doctorate is from Columbia University in its joint program with Union Theological Seminary in Religion and Education. Her life partner is the Reverend Dr. Bonnie A. Perry.
