Daily, our choices shape the world.  In choosing a Quaker seminary education, what kind of world are you hoping to shape for yourself and for other people?

For centuries, Friends have emphasized living simply and peacefully—listening for the ongoing guidance of the Spirit and holding all concerns in the healing Light of Christ.  We seek God in scripture and in stillness; we seek—and find—“that of God” in every person.  Committed to social justice, we work to counter racism, violence, and all forms of oppression. 

Today’s world, we believe, needs such work—and specifically, such workers.  ESR offers an exemplary theological education within a caring Quaker community, preparing women and men to live the truth of the gospel in a wide range of public ministries.

ESR has a blog!  It includes theological reflections, accounts of community events, ministry news from the wider world, and updates on the travels of faculty, students, and alumni.
