Columbia, S.C. — Cherry Hill Seminary announces that in an historic step toward interfaith education and mutual understanding, two theological institutions from different spiritual traditions—United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and Cherry Hill Seminary—are partnering to offer selected joint courses beginning this fall.
This collaboration bridges theological divides by inviting students to explore spiritual practices and the rich diversity of sacred traditions in the Pagan faith. “Understanding the Ritual Experience” will be taught virtually by Dr. Robert Patrick who is an adjunct faculty member at both institutions.
Cherry Hill Seminary academic dean Dr. Margo Wolfe states, “When this opportunity presented itself, students from both schools were enthusiastic about the possibility of working together. At a time when division is too often the norm, such a collaboration affirms the sacred in pluralism. Our students will gain both practical skills and a deeper understanding of spiritual diversity. We hope this is just the beginning of more possible partnerships.”
Students from both schools will have the opportunity to register for these graduate level courses. (CHS students may now register for the course here.)
Cherry Hill Seminary serves Pagan and Nature-based communities by providing transformative education and empowering students to advance academically and lead spiritually. For more information contact CHS@cherryhillseminary.org, or 1-803-862-9088.
