>>James Franklin: I think that’s one of the best things about Seminary of the Southwest,
is the community here.
>>George McGavern: Community is not something that happens by accident here at the seminary.
It’s very, it’s something that’s done intentionally by the seminary.

>>Cynthia Briggs Kittredge: We’re a small faculty. We each have our own discipline,
but we’re constantly learning from each other.
>>Scott Bader-Saye: One of the great things about teaching here is the collegiality among
the faculty. The faculty shares enough in common that the education is cohesive but
there’s not a heavy handed sense that we all have to agree on everything.
>>Bishop Greg Rickel: I think the faculty right now is the strongest I’ve seen it
in at least fifteen years, maybe the strongest ever.

>>Dean Doug Travis: The academics are going to be very, very strenuous but they’re going
to be kind too. We’ve got very well prepared, exceedingly well-trained scholars.

a center and has theological integrity and also has generous boundaries for conversation
and difference to emerge.

>>Christine: Formation
>>Micah Jackson: Formation

>>George: Formation has a lot of dimensions in seminary life here.
>>Christine: It’s something that’s all around you. It’s in the classes, it’s
around the teachers as we are as a class.
>>Doug: Formation here looks at the forming of the whole person, do that through a daily
round of prayer, by attention to the care of their souls as well as their education.

to take place and just the involvement with the faculty, administration and the whole
community.

the questions that the church really is asking.
