Download or read book A Handbook for Seminary Presidents written by G. Douglass Lewis and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-06-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are now over 250 theological seminaries in the United States and Canada. Leading these diverse institutions is a difficult task that combines elements of executive management, academic prowess, master storytelling, and spiritual discipline. Apart from informal mentoring relationships, however, there has been no resource specifically designed to impart collected presidential wisdom. Douglass Lewis, Lovett Weems, and the four dozen other presidential contributors to this volume -- a project of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada -- together possess hundreds of years of combined experience in institutional leadership. They pass along sage advice on everything from boards and enrollment to facilities and institutional advancement, with special discussions of women in leadership, Canadian schools, and the challenges of university-based programs. Any person in administration at a seminary recognizes that leadership in theological education presents a unique set of challenges. "A Handbook for Seminary Presidents" aims to make this task easier and more fulfilling not only for the presidents themselves but also for deans, faculty, support staff, and all who seek to effectively prepare the next generation of Christian leaders.

Book excerpt: President Rembert Stokes of Wilberforce, 1956 to 1976 provides an excellent, rich and very interesting history of the presidency of the 14th President of Wilberforce University. It provides a good study on presidential leadership effectiveness in a higher education setting. Students were trained to fulfill their potential in all areas of life, intellectually, morally, culturally, socially, politically and vocationally. Dr. Stokes was selected for the presidency to succeed President Hill, who died suddenly of a massive heart attack, because of his sound academic background, religious preparation in the Theological Seminary, unique personal characteristics, leadership experience as very capable A.M.E, in the churches he pastored and his accomplishments as the Dean of Payne Theological Seminary. His work as the Dean of Payne Theological Seminary over a five year period made people believe that he was qualified to be the President of the University. He brought the Seminary to a point of excellence. It was given accreditation status during his tenure as the Dean. He was an outstanding and distinguished educator. He was innovative, creative and could foresee long in to the future. He was a superior visionary, an outstanding student development person and a gifted fund raiser. He believed in the philosophy that God has given us more sky than we can ever fly and He has given us more water than we can ever sail and He has given us more love than we can ever give. His ambition was to work, in faith, for the stability of the University and the encouragement of the students who attended the University to embrace a dynamic Christian World View. He used godly ways and he was blessed. There are three major controlling factors that donors evaluate when making grants to institutions of higher education. There are probabilities, potentialities, and prudence. These are considered a three-way test along with the donor's motivation and objectives. The probabilities deal with the justification for continued survival in the future while potentialities involve the quality of service to the community. Prudence is the wisdom in the action.

Book excerpt: Gregory Wills argues that Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has played a fundamental role in the persistence of conservatism, not entirely intentionally.

Download or read book Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 1859 2009 written by Gregory Wills and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 16.3 million members and 44,000 churches, the Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Baptist group in the world, and the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Unlike the so-called mainstream Protestant denominations, Southern Baptists have remained stubbornly conservative, refusing to adapt their beliefs and practices to modernity's individualist and populist values. Instead, they have held fast to traditional orthodoxy in such fundamental areas as biblical inspiration, creation, conversion, and miracles. Gregory Wills argues that Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has played a fundamental role in the persistence of conservatism, not entirely intentionally. Tracing the history of the seminary from the beginning to the present, Wills shows how its foundational commitment to preserving orthodoxy was implanted in denominational memory in ways that strengthened the denomination's conservatism and limited the seminary's ability to stray from it. In a set of circumstances in which the seminary played a central part, Southern Baptists' populist values bolstered traditional orthodoxy rather than diminishing it. In the end, says Wills, their populism privileged orthodoxy over individualism. The story of Southern Seminary is fundamental to understanding Southern Baptist controversy and identity. Wills's study sheds important new light on the denomination that has played - and continues to play - such a central role in our national history.
