The GTU is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Kamal Abu-Shamsieh as Director of its new Interreligious Chaplaincy Program and Lecturer in Practical Theology.
PhD student Nathan Michon has received a Fulbright Award to conduct research at Tohoku University in Japan to study how Japanese clergy are combining approaches often employed in Western chaplaincy with traditional Japanese Buddhist meditations and other techniques.
The GTU is actively engaged in a search for the school’s next president and will continue to accept applications from interested candidates through March 1, 2018. We are seeking an innovative and collaborative leader whose compelling vision can inspire and unite this dynamic interreligious institution. The presidential search committee is encouraging the entire GTU community to invite qualified candidates to apply for this position.
