About Seabury
Seabury’s journey of discernment has resulted in a vision of being an educational community, grounded in the Baptismal Covenant, that proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the church and the world.
We are working to embody that vision by becoming what’s next in a seminary. Our theological education includes single classes, diplomas and doctoral degrees. We offer events, programs and classes for intellectually serious church leaders, seminarians, and pilgrims and seekers. As we become an innovative 21st century seminary, our education remains academically rigorous and rooted in the Episcopal tradition.
Our mission is to embody generous Christianity, grounded in the Baptismal Covenant and the Episcopal tradition, as we educate lay and ordained women and men for ministry, build faith communities, and enrich people in their faith. Here’s what we are doing right now to accomplish that mission:
Building Communities of Faith
Equipping People for Ministry
We offer a Diploma and Certificate in Anglican Studies, which provides the equivalent of a full year of study in ministry in the Anglican tradition. Courses are online with intensive short stays on the Seabury campus.
We also offer non-degree courses and programs for lay leaders and clergy. Spring 2010 courses—some offered in conjunction with our D.Min. and Anglican Studies programs—will include ministry development, liturgy, Anglican theology and ethics, and Islam.
Enriching People in their Faith
Our special continuing education events, for lay people and clergy, include courses, special events, and seminars. Visit Events at Seabury to learn more.
