Ministry for Tomorrow

The title of the Report of the Special Committee on Theological Education which was chaired by Nathan M. Pusey. Ministry for Tomorrow was published by the Episcopal Church Foundation. It was informally referred to as “the Pusey Report.” The 1967 General Convention of the Episcopal Church accepted this report which recommended a consolidation of the seminaries of the Episcopal Church in ecumenical urban centers. It also recommended that the church should have a Board for Theological Education (BTE). The report resulted in the canonical requirement for the BTE. After this report, Bexley Hall moved to join the Colgate complex of schools in Rochester, New York, and the Episcopal Divinity School in Philadelphia combined with the Episcopal Theological School of Cambridge, Massachusetts, to become the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge. See Board for Theological Education (BTE).
