Board meetings and strategic plans from United Theological Seminary
The document appears to be related to a 'Doctor of Ministry' event, specifically noted as 'Welcome & Opening Worship' on January 26, 2026. Key discussions included the president's impending retirement in June 2026 after ten years of service at United Seminary. The speaker shared anecdotes regarding institutional crisis management via envelopes left by predecessors, and provided an update on the presidential search committee, which aimed to have a new president selected by early spring (March or April). Attendees were encouraged to commit to loving and supporting the incoming president. A significant portion of the discussion addressed recent financial challenges at United, resulting from lowered income from the United Methodist ministerial education fund and expenditure of previous grants, necessitating a goal to raise $1 million between January and June 2026 to end the fiscal year in the black. The importance of prayer for this fundraising campaign, themed 'God is Able,' was heavily emphasized. The event concluded with a pastoral address and prayer.
The event was the 2022 Opening Convocation for the 2022-2023 Academic Year. Key discussions included welcoming students, especially those from the Contextual Ministries program and attending a preaching seminar led by Dr. Thomas. Good news regarding enrollment was shared, noting the largest enrollment in five years with a total of 467 students, an 18% increase from the previous year. New faculty, including Dr. Reggie Abraham, were introduced, while transitions such as the retirement of executive assistant Laura Weber and the welcoming of her replacement, Destiny Edmondson, were acknowledged. A significant portion of the event involved an address and the conferral of an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree upon Dr. Frank Thomas, recognizing his extensive contributions as a pastor, professor, author, and speaker. The thematic focus of the address related to the challenges facing children globally, such as violence, poverty, neglect, and trafficking, and challenging the institution to focus scholarship and action on these issues.
