Seminary president envisions expanded role for church
In The Lively Morningside Heights Section of New York City, Union Theological Seminary, founded in 1836 and in its present location since 1910, rises like an incongruous Gothic fortress in the dank drizzle of the early morning on the last day of January. Inside the chilly, gray lobby, paned-glass windows look out onto a vast central courtyard, surprisingly verdant amid the imposing architecture and dark, labyrinthine halls and stairways.
If the medieval-style buildings seem incongruous in the middle of modern-day New York City, inside the walls of Union Theological Seminary a breath of fresh air is blowing. My first indication of this comes, when in the waiting area, I discover fliers inviting visitors and students to Zen Mediation courses, and to a workshop for a Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Trialogue.
