Together we make The Episcopal Church stronger
We were delighted to welcome the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe ’00, (H) ’09, 28th Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, back to campus in April.
Rowe spent time talking to students, as well as preaching at Evensong, and delivering the 2025 Albert T. Mollegen Forum, on Institutional Resistance: Theological Perspectives on Public Witness, followed by a panel discussion with VTS staff and faculty. He was also the guest speaker at the Center for Anglican Studies’ annual Companions Dinner.
The General Theological Seminary has completed a lease agreement with Vanderbilt University for the Close in Chelsea, after receiving approval from the New York State Attorney General.
In 2026 VTS is offering three pilgrimages: Grace & Gardens in England’s “green and pleasant land,” May and September; and Biblical Turkey: Holy Land of the Early Church in October.
VTS has launched a new resource examining how foundational Christian commitments take on political significance, to help faith leaders navigate the current political climate.
VTS has been awarded a $1.25 million grant by Lilly Endowment Inc. to launch an initiative to research and develop child-centered practices in worship.
