About Us:

Episcopal Divinity School: A Seminary of the Episcopal Church

Our mission is to educate lay and ordained leaders for Christ's Church and for the world who serve and advance God's mission of justice, compassion, and reconciliation.

Episcopal Divinity School is a special place. Throughout its history the EDS community has been shaped by several key commitments: to live out the Gospel values of justice, compassion, and reconciliation; to liberate institutions and people from the grip of all forms of oppression; and to lead the Church and society with courage and compassion in an ever-changing world.

The seminary offers three graduate degrees: Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Theological Studies, and Doctor of Ministry as well as Certificates in Theological Studies. EDS also offers continuing education courses, the Minister-in-Vicinity program, sabbatical stays, and visiting and Procter Scholar programs.

It is the policy of Episcopal Divinity School that those responsible for recruitment and admission of students; for administering and planning scholarships, programs, activities, and curriculum; for filling faculty and staff positions; and for seeking and nominating trustees; shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, physical disability, or age.
