[UUA-L] Unitarian Universalist Theological Education

[Unitarian Universalist Association]

Over the past eighteen months, representatives from Starr King School
for the Ministry, Meadville Lombard Theological School, and the UUA have
discussed ways to nurture and enhance Unitarian Universalist theological
education, specifically the possibility of merger or consolidation of
the schools. The vision crafted during these conversations is a
compelling one, and all parties are committed to this vitally important
work. Starr King, however, does not believe that it is in its best
interest at this time to enter into a formal process of negotiations
aimed at merger or consolidation. Although the negotiations for merger
or consolidation will not move forward at this time, all three parties
remain open to the possibility of future partnership and collaboration.
