2021-2022 Student Handbook
roar, ‘Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!’” (Revelation 7:9-10, NLT) While we wait, we are called to pray for and work toward a community that reflects the nature of the triune God: one of love, justice, and righteousness.
Cultural Awareness Statement Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary is a diverse community that reflects cultures present within the United States and across the globe. Because we affirm Christ-centered unity (1 Cor 1:10), we seek to develop our cultural intelligence—our capacity to effectively relate to each other cross-culturally with truth and love. We want to become students of the cultures and histories present within our learning and ministerial communities and to be a place where differences are valued in meaningful and respectful ways. Should there be exchanges where cultural sensitivity is not present, we invite participants to have a conversation about the offense and ask the offender to engage in further learning to better understand. We pray and work towards peacemaking and reconciliation (2 Cor 5), as well as justice and hospitality (Is 1:17, Micah 6:8, Zech 7:9, Col 3:1-17). In this manner, we can serve not only for but also with those with different backgrounds for the sake of God’s mission in the world.
