This fall we are excited to welcome an exceptionally large incoming class of seminarians to the Mountain! Over the past few years our gown library has dwindled in size as some gowns have left the Mountain with graduates and others have become unwearable.
If you have a gown you would be willing to return for future seminarians to wear, please send it before August to:

The School of Theology

335 Tennessee Ave

Sewanee, TN 37383

Join us

September 30 - October 2, 2025

The 2025 St. Luke's Lecturer will be Dr. Andrew Root

"The Congregation in a Secular Age: When Change Hurts"

"It’s a hard and costly process to move your whole family [to Sewanee]. When you’re trying to figure out how you’re going to support your kids, scholarships matter."

"I may be in Charleston—hundreds of miles away—but I'm still part of the Sewanee community because I'm contributing to it on such a regular basis."

Everyone is invited to attend—current program participants, mentors, coordinators, trainers, staff, and graduates, and those curious about biblical-based study—when EfMers from around the country and the globe will gather for fellowship, learning, reflection, and worship.

Sanctuary and Citizenship: A Theological Exploration of the US Immigration System

Dr. Meiers Carlson will present a theological analysis of the subject through the lens of the church’s immigrant sanctuary practices, beginning with the 1980s Sanctuary Movement.
