>>Scott Bader-Saye: We do more than educate the mind. We’re thinking about how education
involves the whole person, so that we see for instance the ways in which the intellectual
virtues are connected to the moral virtues.
>>Rebecca Guengerich: Before my faith was always about informational, but when I came
here to the seminary if was all about formation.

>>Bishop Dena Harrison: Leaders of the church must have the skills to integrate all experience
into the life of faith and that’s what I think I received at the seminary that has
been most helpful.
>>Micah: Formation is an important word for us. The discipline of the classroom, of chapel,
of living in community. All of those things put together build us and form us.
>>Scott: And I think we’re interested not just in the formation of individual students,
but we’re interested in how we form a community because part of the calling for the students
is to go from here and form communities. The question becomes how do we link ourselves
with other lives in such a way that we form communities that can really have an impact
on the world.
