Austin, Texas

Austin Seminary expresses gratitude to the pastors, staff, and congregation of University Presbyterian Church, Austin, for graciously offering their sanctuary for our Inauguration festivities.

Mission & History

For the glory of God and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary is a seminary in the Presbyterian-Reformed tradition whose mission is to educate and equip people for ordained Christian ministry and other forms of Christian service and leadership; to employ its resources for the nurture of the church; to practice and promote critical theological thought and research; to engage a range of voices and perspectives within and beyond the life of the Seminary; and to be a winsome and exemplary community of God’s people.

Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary opened its doors on October 1, 1902, with the mission to educate ministers to meet the needs of a rapidly growing Presbyterian Church on the emerging frontier of the Southwest. Since its inception, Austin Seminary has educated more than 3,000 persons to serve in a variety of ministry and faith-based nonprofit settings in every state and many foreign countries.

Austin Seminary offers six degree programs, including a dual degree with The University of Texas at Austin (UT) Steve Hicks School of Social Work; a degree specializing in youth ministry that combines theological and biblical study and reflection with practical experience in the church; and a degree for clergy in the midst of their ministries. Certificate programs, in English and Spanish, appeal to those who seek substantive theological education in a primarily online format. Several annual lectures, including one planned and produced exclusively by students, provide opportunities for the public to hear from a variety of distinguished speakers.

In addition to graduate-level theological education, Austin Seminary creates space for learning among Christian leaders and those who look to enhance their lives of faith. Collaborative programs enhance the well-being and support of clergy and resource congregations in changing times; a bilingual certificate program through Instituto de María y Marta offers leadership education for Hispanic Christian women; and online and in-person programming addresses topics of importance for the life of the church and the world.

The church, and those who serve in it, are changing as rapidly as the culture. Austin Seminary’s institutional emphasis on community—experienced through living, studying, and learning together—is a significant factor in our graduates’ ability to relate to and lead healthy Christian communities.

The Austin Seminary Mace and Presidential Medallion were gifts to the past chairs of the Board of Trustees (through 2002). They were designed and crafted by Austin Seminary’s Artist-inResidence, The Reverend C.D. Weaver. The mace is carved from American black walnut and ebony and adorned with sterling silver medallions depicting images related to the Seminary, its roots in the Reformed tradition, and biblical history. The mace is capped by five bronze “flames” representing Old and New Testament images of the burning bush and Pentecost. The Presidential Medallion bears a facsimile of Shelton Chapel in sterling silver on the front and the names of all the Seminary presidents engraved on the back. It is to be worn by the president when presiding over formal Seminary functions.

The Reverend Dr. José R. Irizarry

Dr. José Ramon Irizarry was called to be the tenth president of Austin Seminary on June 27, 2022. He previously served as Vice President of Education at the Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). A scholar in the field of practical theology, Irizarry taught at Villanova University and has held teaching and administrative positions at various educational and theological institutions including The University of Cambridge (Visiting Fellow), The Lutheran School of Theology, the Pacific School of Religion, and McCormick Theological Seminary.

Out of his expertise as a bilingual educator, Dr. Irizarry directed Cambridge College’s regional campus in his native San Juan, Puerto Rico, (2011-2015) and served as academic dean, acting president, and held The Limardo Chair in Practical Theology at the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico (2007-2011). He earned degrees from the University of Puerto Rico (BA), McCormick Theological Seminary (MDiv), and Northwestern University (PhD) as well as professional certifications from the Universitá per Stranieri di Perugia, Italy, Boston College, and Cornell University.

Supporting his work in the field of religious education and intercultural relations, Irizarry has traveled internationally to lead seminars and conferences and to conduct research. He has chaired academic accreditation teams in the US and Puerto Rico and served as president of the Religious Education Association in the United States and Canada. An ordained minister in the PC(USA), he has served the church as member of the Review Committee of the Whole (assessing the work of all agencies of the Presbyterian Church) and on the Committee on Theological Education. He was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation (Westminster John Knox Press, Geneva Press) for eight years and was a trustee at Columbia Theological Seminary. He served interim pastoral positions at Presbyterian and inter-denominational congregations in Puerto Rico and the US.

A native of Puerto Rico, Dr. Irizarry is married to Mildred (Milly) Del Valle, a speech pathologist and ruling elder, and they are parents to three young adults currently engaging undergraduate and graduate studies: Yuyza, Darien Farel, and Abayomi Nicola. He began his tenure as president on August 22, 2022.

Burnett, the Chorale bears a tradition of maintaining the highest standards of musical excellence, performing at venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, at the National Convention of the American Choral Director’s Association, the Texas Music Educator’s Association Conventions, and on tour worldwide. These students lead the Butler Choral Studies Program into the future, performing repertoire from every time period as well as new music from all over the world. This choir has been conducted by pillars of the world-wide choral community including Morris Beachy, and Craig Hella Johnson.

text and music by Raúl Galeano

O God, you summon the day to dawn; you teach the morning to waken the earth. Great is your name, great is your love.

For you the valleys will sing for joy; the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Great is your name, great is your love.

To you the monarchs of the earth shall bow; the poor and the persecuted shall shout for joy. Great is your name, great is your love.

Your love and justice shall last forever, fresh as the morning, sure as the sunrise. Great is your name, great is your love.

Although this hymn is often used on large and festive occasions, its first two stanzas had much humbler beginnings: they originated as a family table prayer during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). These words have been associated with this tune since the mid-17th century.

There are varieties of gifts, but it is the same Spirit who gives them. There are different ways of serving God, but it is the same Lord who is served. To each is given a gift of the Spirit to be used for the common good. Together we are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

text by John L. Bell, 2008; music from South African Themba Amen

Creemos en Dios Padre todopoderoso, Creator of the heavens and the earth; Creator of all people and all cultures; Creator of all tongues and races.

This “short song,” as the Iona Community calls it, can be especially effective as a means of setting a welcoming tone for a service (especially an ecumenical one). Like most such songs, it needs to be sung several times, adding and improvising harmony with each repetition.

TEXT: John L. Bell, 2008

MUSIC: South African song; transcr. John L. Bell, 2008

Text and Music Transcr. © 2008 WGRG, Iona Community (admin. GIA Publications, Inc.)

Creemos en Jesucristo, su Hijo, nuestro Señor, God made flesh in a person for all humanity, God made flesh in an age for all the ages, God made flesh in one culture for all cultures, God made flesh in love and grace for all creation.

Creemos en el Espíritu Santo, Through whom God Incarnate in Jesus Christ makes his presence known in our people and our cultures; Through whom, God, Creator of all that exists, gives us power to become new creatures; Whose infinite gifts make us one people: the body of Christ.

Creemos en la Iglesia, que es universal, Because It is a sign of God’s Reign Whose faithfulness is shown in its many hues, Where all the colors paint a single landscape, Where all tongues sing the same praise.

Creemos en el reino venidero, día de la gran fiesta, When all the colors of creation will form a harmonious rainbow, When all the people will join in the joyful banquet, When all the tongues of the universe will sing the same song.

Y porque creemos, nos comprometemos To believe for those who do not believe, To love for those who do not love, To dream for those who do not dream, Until the day when hope becomes a reality.

all singing: Amen, amen …

(Psalm

text by Isaac Watts, 1719; music arr. Richard Smallwood, 1979

This setting of stanzas from a metrical psalm draws on an African American singing tradition marked by a slow pace and individual improvisation. Vestiges of that practice appear here in the pattern of extended syllables occurring at regular intervals without regard to meaning.

Himno / Anthem “Building Up the Kingdom” M. Roger Holland II Composer

My hands are your hands to pray and to serve, to do works of justice, to heal where there is hurt, to touch the untouchable as God did in the flesh. Greater works you said we’ll do if in your name we’ll ask.

I want to be used for the building up of the kingdom of God; keep my hand on the gospel plow, never gonna stop. I want to be used for the building up of the kingdom of God. I’m gonna build it up until I get home.

My feet are your feet, to go where you please, clothed in your righteousness with the gospel of peace. I’ll run and not get weary, walk and not faint, strengthened by your Spirit to run this Christian race.

My tongue is your tongue to speak your holy word, spreading the gospel, to bless and not curse, to sing with the angels their song from above. I dedicate my life to you, an offering of love.

all singing:

I want to be used for the building up of the kingdom of God; keep my hand on the gospel plow, never gonna stop.

I want to be used for the building up of the kingdom of God. I’m gonna build it up until I get home.
