As president of Union Theological Seminary, a 187-year-old graduate school in New York City, I know that leading an institution of higher education in the United States today is not a job for the faint of heart. At Union, a seminary long known for our commitment to social justice, care, and peace, we embrace challenges as opportunities and seek to make clear, morally grounded decisions.
This commitment led us to divest, in 2014, from fossil fuels, for-profit prisons, gun manufacturers, and armaments. In some ways, this month's decision was simply to overlay our deeply held values onto the frightening reality in the Middle East, which should be a digestible notion for other institutions.While we recognize that uplifting the power of prayer may be unique to a seminary like Union, it has taken on a powerful form on our campus in the wake of October 7.
