Christian schools retooling theology education and public engagement

Across denominations, Christian institutions are refining how they teach and live out the faith. Seminaries like Southern and Concordia are deepening ties to local churches and hosting guest scholars to better integrate academic theology with ministry practice. The Jesuit School of Theology’s move to Santa Clara University’s main campus signals a push for closer alignment between theological study and broader university life. Meanwhile, resources and events from places like Public Orthodoxy and St Andrews’ Church History program expand historical and ecumenical understanding, equipping students and clergy for more informed leadership.
