Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary : 2002 Seminar
Project Report
Project Report: Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
{excerpt}
With the generous programmatic and financial support of the Lilly Endowment-funded Lexington Seminar, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary set out to understand the connection between what students are taught in class and how they act outside of the classroom. The project, on all levels, involved narratives. First was the case study which prompted consideration of the topic-the story of how some students chose to interpret campus rules. Then, as the faculty members considered how they could impact the spiritual and moral development of students in the classroom, they began to tell their personal stories. Their own spiritual development was placed in the context of this educational and spiritual community. But each of these faculty members would not be in this place if it weren't for the collective story they share in the history of the seminary and the narrative of our tradition as a school and as an evangelical movement. This historical level becomes the starting point for this paper, as it provides a context by offering a window into the missional uniqueness and theological moorings of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
