The Institute for Reformed Theology
Established in 1998 through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the Institute for Reformed Theology at Union-PSCE initiates thoughtful conversation between scholars and pastors concerning the Reformed tradition. The Institute enhances the ability of ministers and educators to serve the church faithfully and to extend the conversation to congregations and governing bodies of the church.

The Reformed tradition includes churches that trace their theological heritage from scripture through their historic confessions, and church leaders who have sought to interpret the Bible for the world. Reformed churches are characterized by a commitment to vigorous engagement between the church and the world. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), which Union-PSCE serves, is a church in the Reformed communion.

Central to the Institute’s program are annual colloquies that address constructive questions for Christian-ity in the twenty-first century. The colloquies engage professors, ministers, and students in the task of relating theology and contemporary life.

Members of the Institute’s Board of Directors are: B. A. Gerrish, retired distinguished service professor of theology; Dawn DeVries, John Newton Thomas Professor of Systematic Theology; Douglas Ottati, M. E. Pemberton Professor of Theology; Mark Valeri, E. T. Thompson Professor of Church History; and Louis Weeks, professor of historical theology and Union-PSCE’s president.
