PTS Catalogue - Princeton Theological Seminary

Members of the Seminary community (and their spouses) can participate in
programs of the school on a space-available basis at no cost. The school strives to
provide participants with solutions that are directly applicable to issues that are
currently facing the church. The school regularly partners with student groups and
other departments to offer programs of direct interest to students. Some offerings
that may be of interest to current students include the Institute for Multicultural
Ministry, First Call: Transition-into-Ministry, the Institute of Faith and Public Life,
the Princeton Forums on Youth Ministry and the seasonal Advent and Lenten
Bible Studies.
Students will also be interested in exploring the opportunities offered by the
Seminary’s proprietary social networking platform Called to Community during
their time on campus and as a means of maintaining contact with peer groups and
of accessing trusted Seminary resources after graduating.
Graduates can identify programs of interest by visiting www.ptsem/cvm.
Since 1942, the Seminary has offered career-long learning opportunities. Fifty years
ago, President McCord reinforced this mission:
Continuing Education is not a sporadic and nostalgic return to
the campus for the joy of trying to recapture alma mater feeling,
but the involvement in some systematic, continuing, and valuable
discipline after the days or weeks on campus are over.
The Engle Institute of Preaching
The Engle Institute of Preaching is a weeklong continuing education event that
was envisioned and made possible by the dream and generosity of Joe R. Engle.
The institute is designed to nurture and strengthen the craft of those who preach,
whether weekly or occasionally, whether in city, suburb, small town, rural community,
or other specialized ministries. Engle Fellows and faculty gather for the
week to participate in the hospitality of the seminar room, the dinner table, and
the chapel pew. Engle Fellows reconnect vocationally with friends as they practice
the craft of preaching in the company of colleagues. Opportunities to make the
resources of the Engle Institute available to Engle Fellows on a year-round basis
through the use of social networking resources are in development. Further information
is available from the Erdman Center on the web at www.ptsem.edu/cvm,
or by telephone at 609.497.7990.
The Hispanic/Latina(o) Leadership Program
For more than twenty years, the Hispanic/Latina/o Leadership Programs (HLPs)
at Princeton Theological Seminary have sought to be a space of mutual learning,
training, spiritual strengthening, and fellowship for the growing “Comunidad
Latinoamericana” in the USA.
In developing programs in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, the goals of the HLPs
are to continually develop lay and clergy leaders, and congregations, with social
and theological integrity coming from a Latin American Christian perspective:
