“In this extraordinary time, Rachel has been an extraordinary leader at this seminary: pastorally, liturgically, theologically. She has shown us what it means to be ready: not just ready for our own tasks (though her own unfailing readiness is always astonishing), but ready for what God will do, helping us all to trust that however strange the calling or territory, God is faithful and will accompany us. Rachel has been among us for such a time as this. For such a time as may be next for her, we at Austin Seminary already know the blessings God will bring through her.” –Professor Eric Wall
Pile-Morgan Fellowship | $8,000 prize
“David Kim dedicates himself to the careful study of Bible and theology, always with a heart for ministry and for a deeper personal understanding. That he does so with excellence and joy in a language and culture in no-way cognate to those of his home bears witness to his steadfast and gracious Christian character.” –Professor Margaret Aymer 4 | Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary
