First published 1986
The halls of Reformed Episcopal Seminary echo with decades of dedication as faculty members and administrators share their experiences building an institution devoted to faithful ministry. These men open their lives to readers, revealing the daily struggles and victories of theological education. Each story shows how the seminary's motto drives their work: living as those ambitious to please God above all else. The narratives weave together classroom moments, student interactions, and personal reflections that shaped both the seminary and the men who served it. Through their voices, the institution's character emerges not as an abstract ideal but as lived reality. The book captures the heart of a community where scholarship meets devotion, where training ministers means forming whole persons for service.
