The following statement was released this evening by the eight faculty dismissed by the Seminary.
The eight fired faculty members of the General Theological Seminary sincerely thank the thousands of academics, hundreds of clergy and colleagues, GTS alumni, and other Christian faithful from around the world who have expressed their support for us in the aftermath of the Board of Trustees’ disappointing decision today. Your prayers, your passionate commitment to our cause, and outpouring of love continue to lift us up and sustain us.
For now, we need to spend some time individually and collectively in prayerful reflection on the Board’s decision so that we can determine the best way forward.
