Theological education in action

The purpose of this research is to study the learning experiences of participants in the Student Interracial Ministry (SIM) of Union Theological Seminary in New York. SIM provided the seminarians with an intense learning environment in which they crossed borders including race, gender, class, and culture. For many of these participants, this experience offered them rich opportunities for transformative learning. This study investigates the ways in which participation in SIM affected the racial perspectives of the participants, with special attention to the interplay between religious background, theological education, and faith development.
