In March 2017, 70 seminary faculty and deans participated in a Symposium on Ecologically Informed Theological Education in Washington, DC. They explored ways of integrating faith and ecology into their theology curricula. The Symposium was co-organized by the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development, the Washington Theological Consortium, the Green Seminary Initiative (GSI), and Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO), and hosted by The Catholic University of America‘s School of Theology and Religious Studies.

The video was recorded at the Washington D.C. Symposium on Ecologically Informed Theological Education: Implications for Teaching, Learning and Seminary Life. The D.C. Symposium was part of The Seminary Environmental Leadership Initiative, which was funded through a grant from the Luce Fund for Theological Education, an initiative of the Henry Luce Foundation’s Theology Program. Additional support was provided by The Julia Burke Foundation.
