The Lexington Seminar: Theological Teaching for the Church’s Ministries is a program for faculties of theological seminaries and university divinity schools who are committed to dealing with issues of teaching and learning central to their calling as teachers in the church. Each year, up to five schools are invited to participate in this program that includes a five-day seminar for teams composed of six members from each faculty. The seminar is held in June at The Asticou Inn, Northeast Harbor, Maine.

Following this June seminar, the participating schools are invited to submit a grant proposal for an educational project that addresses the issue in theological teaching and learning identified by the whole faculty. At the end of the two year projects, a consultation is held to reflect on the project and a final report is written.

The continuing concern throughout the various meetings of The Lexington Seminar is to provide a setting for faculty conversations on significant issues of theological teaching and learning and to encourage collaboration within faculties on these issues in theological education.
