I last wrote in the midst of the transition surrounding my installation as President and Dean, and in the whirlwind of change that accompanies the new, both for me and for CDSP. This inaugural event was a wonderful affirmation of the ministry of the school, and encouraging support for me personally. Since then the seminary has carried on the rhythms of community life — of study, chapel and shared meals and social time — that are the signature features many of you will remember.

Welcome to this edition of Crossings. Change is in the air, and you may have discovered that the new features and sources of infor­mation at the CDSP website are good examples of this. Just as Lent is a time to examine our lives, institutions must also engage in self­-examination. Taking a new direc­tion is not a moment in time but a process, which opens the way to both sadness about what we are leav­ing behind, and hopeful anticipation about new possibilities. I want to share some of the transitions we are undergoing.
Master of Arts
/admissions/admissions-requirements/masters-programs/master-arts
The Master of Arts is an academic degree program offered cooperatively by the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) and the schools participating in the consortium. Referred to as the GTU Common M.A., the degree is jointly conferred by one of the member schools and the GTU. Students who choose to affiliate with CDSP are eligible for financial aid from CDSP and pay their tuition to CDSP.
Master of Arts Degree (M.A.)
/academics/degree-programs/master-arts-degree-ma
The M.A. degree prepares students to undertake doctoral studies, to teach religion at elementary through junior college levels, or to integrate a theological perspective into the practice of another profession or ministry. The M.A. program is offered by the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in cooperation with member schools including CDSP. Admission applications for the M.A. program are submitted to the GTU Admissions Office, and applications are considered by the Admissions Committees of both the GTU and the school of affiliation.
Master of Divinity (M.DIV.)
/academics/degree-programs/master-divinity-mdiv
A theological curriculum reflects an understanding of the nature of theology in its historical and cultural contexts. The M.Div. program at CDSP is designed to address the special needs of professional ministry, both ordained and lay, in The Episcopal Church. The design and content of the CDSP M.Div. curriculum provides:
Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.)
/academics/degree-programs/master-theological-studies-mts
The M.T.S. at CDSP is a two-year program that provides solid academic grounding in theological disciplines but is not intended to prepare students for ordination. The hallmark of the M.T.S. is its flexibility. In practice, it has been utilized by international students who are already ordained and wish to further their theological education, and by those in a variety of fields who wish to gain a theological perspective on their vocations. The rich ecumenical resources of the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) provide opportunity for study in many different areas.
