SFTS and the Alumni Council are always thrilled to host our annual Alumni Reunion Weekend, bringing together the seminary community for a time of communion, fellowship and remembrance. In 2013, the Class of 1988 will celebrate its 25th reunion and the Class of 1963 will celebrate its 50th reunion.
Alumni Reunion Weekend is complemented by the annual T.V. Moore Lectures and the Faith & the Common Good Lecture.

White, Assistant Professor of Theology and Culture at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology, and Associated Faculty in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Graduate Division of Religion, will join us as the new T.V.
