Rick Capotosto, the Associate Director of Development at Western Theological Seminary (WTS), will be our speaker. By the end of this decade, the most common student in theological education will be a racial or ethnic minority student from an evangelical-protestant tradition, equally likely to be male or female, equally likely to be enrolled in an MA program or an MDiv program, studying part-time as a commuter or distance learning student, attending a seminary that does not belong to the same denomination as their parents, or altogether non-denominational, not funded by a denomination, and not pursuing ministry in a denomination.

 

Rick will tell how WTS is responding to these changes.
