New Life at CDSP
In January 2023, we announced that, due to consistently high interest in our hybrid program and unsustainably low enrollment in our residential program, we would be shifting to a fully hybrid educational model. We are beginning to see early returns from this difficult but hopeful decision and have compiled these signs of new life.
Why CDSP?
“CDSP’s four-year hybrid degree plus the two years of funded curacy is, without question in my mind, the most exciting thing going on in theological education right now.”
– Dr. Stephen Fowl, President & Dean
The CDSP Distinction
An Episcopal seminary shaped by the West Coast context, CDSP forms leaders called to find new ways to create Christian communities and share God’s love.
Through our partnership with Trinity Church and an ongoing dialog with bishops and grassroots leaders, we have focused our degree programs on preparing community-oriented, spiritually adept, and resilient priests who will help create the Episcopal Church of the future.
All of our degree students participate in a hybrid program, with travel expenses for four yearly gathered sessions in partner dioceses subsidized by the seminary. MDiv students receive full-tuition scholarships for their degree program as well as a fully funded, two-year curacy in their diocese after graduation.
