It’s so easy to look at numbers when trying to decide whether our ministry is successful. “How many people did we reach?” we ask. The Rev. Dr. L. Roger Owens, Hugh Thomson Kerr Professor of Pastoral Theology, looks at the ministry of Jesus and his disciples in Mark 6 and offers a reminder that “success isn't indicated by outcomes alone, but by our faithfulness to the work.” Read Dr. Owens’ reflection on the Seminary’s blog: https://ow.ly/JJmH50Zz1VR

What does it mean to practice theology in a pluralistic and divided world?

Dr. David Moe brings to PTS a global perspective shaped by scholarship and lived experience as a pastor serving multiethnic communities amid conflict in Myanmar. His work explores public theology, ethnic reconciliation, interreligious engagement, nationalism, and missional leadership—all with an eye toward how theology can serve the common good.

We look forward to the important conversations his teaching and scholarship will bring to our community!
