STU Now Housing the Ecumenical Institute

Director of the Ecumenical Institute Rev Diane Shoaf

St. Thomas University School of Theology and Ministry is pleased to announce its newly created interdenominational Ecumenical Institute. The Institute welcomes learners into programs of study aimed at preparing men and women for ministerial and pastoral leadership, advising learners during their program of study, and nurturing them in their ministerial, pastoral, and spiritual formation.

“The Ecumenical Institute’s vision seeks to embody the hope of the gospel prayer,” says its Director, Rev. Diane Shoaf. “May they be one, as we are one… That is our message in an era where dialogue is much needed, in particular, cross-cultural, ecumenical, and inter-religious dialogue.” The Institute’s collaborators seek mutual understanding of the religious convictions and practices of other Christian traditions, other Abrahamic faiths and other world religions.
