2014 Annual report
We are so thankful to you,
our faithful donors and
generous supporters, who demonstrated your affection for and commitment to Lancaster Theological Seminary by making a financial donation during the fiscal year
July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
For the second year in a row, your gifts to our annual fund topped $1 million!
Your support makes it possible for us to continue to provide the highest quality
educational support to transformational leaders who will serve the church now and
well into the future.
The excellence of our programs was underscored in 2014 by the achievement
of a major milestone: reaccreditation by both the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools for the next 10
years, the maximum time allowable. ATS noted our distinctive strengths: outstanding leadership, commitment in facing institutional racism, and responsiveness to
student well-being.
Rev. Dr. Carol E. Lytch
Seminary President
We give thanks to God for all of you who have blessed us with your gifts. With
this positive momentum and renewed energy, we are able to carry out our mission:
to educate and nurture leaders to join in God’s redemptive and liberating work so
that all creation may flourish.

LEADING …
A BOLD INVESTMENT
Our unique Master of Divinity
program debuts in August 2015 after
nearly a year in development. This
“bold investment in community”
offers a refreshed curriculum and
two options, a weekday program
and a weekend program, that make
it realistically possible to combine
work and school.
Dr. David Mellott, Seminary Dean
and Vice President for Academic Affairs, says, “People want
to cultivate lives that matter to themselves and to others.
Our newly designed degree program will help students engage human existence more deeply and teach them to put
their talents at the service of God’s vision for a world where
all creation flourishes.”

LISTENING …
A “HIDDEN JEWEL”—OUR HISTORIC CAMPUS
Marking the 50th anniversary of the enactment of the
Voting Rights law along with other civil rights milestones,
several of our own “courageous clergy” returned to campus to share their memories of the turbulent 1950s and 60s.
Moderated by Rev. Dr. Nathan Baxter, ‘76/’84 (center), the
panel included (from left) Rev. Dr. Jack Seville, ‘64/’73; Rev.
Dr. Herbert Davis, ’60; Rev. Dr. Doyle Luckenbaugh, ’65; Dr.
Paul Irion, professor emeritus.
Rev. Dr. William Rader, ’54, said, “Remember that the
struggle is a spiritual one…prayer is vital for those who seem
to stand in the way and for deeper understanding, patience,
and hope.”
We welcomed more than 60 community leaders, neighbors, and friends to a unique “asset-mapping” brainstorming
session that explored new ways to open our historic campus,
engage more with the broader community, and protect and
update our architectural gems. The event, part of a two-year
program led by Partners for Sacred Places and funded by a
grant from The Henry Luce Foundation, is essential in maximizing our campus assets and developing a campus master
plan for the future.
In addition, Dr. Stephanie Crumpton, Assistant Professor
of Practical Theology, led a series of Testify conversations
that engaged our campus and the community in deep and
thoughtful explorations of race and justice.

We are so very blessed by the longstanding friendship that we have with
local congregations and regional judicatories, which dates back to the
Seminary’s founding in 1825. We value these partnerships tremendously,
particularly in these times of scarcity.

Named for the Seminary’s founding year, The 1825 Society offers two ways to invest in our school’s
future by honoring its historic past. An annual gift of $1,825 or a donation of $365 a year for five years
(one dollar a day) qualifies for Society membership and benefits. We thank these members whose
contributions help support our mission to educate transformational leaders for church and society.
