With more than 9.1 million in pledges and receipts in hand as of April 15, the campaign has succeededthanks to the generosity of alumni, trustees, faculty, students, and friends of the seminary.The campaign, executed in collaboration with Yale Divinity School’s own 30 millionfundraising effort and in the context of the university-wide Yale Tomorrow campaign, wasdesigned to fund new initiatives that will put Berkeley Divinity School at the forefront oftheological education in the Episcopal Church. Among these new programs are: Intentional leadershipformation A focus on urbanministry A joint degree programin religion and ecology Training for ministry inschools and collegesThe Newsletter is published threetimes per year by Berkeley DivinitySchool at Yale.For more information about Berkeley,please contact:Berkeley Divinity School at Yale409 Prospect StreetNew Haven, CT 06511-2167Telephone: 203.432.9285Fax: 203.432.9353www.yale.edu/berkeleydivinity Engagement with theglobal churchDean Joseph BrittonCharles TysonAmong the new initiatives, a 3-million pledge from the Porter Foundation to establishthe H. Boone and Violet M. Porter Chair in Religion and Environmental Stewardship especially stands out, both as the largest gift ever received by Berkeley and as the addition of anew senior faculty position.The campaign also significantly increased funding for scholarship aid to students—a goaljointly shared with YDS. In fact, since the beginning of the campaign, scholarship aid has
Berkeley’s Ongoing FundingPrioritiesAs we celebrate the success of Berkeley’s Cap-increased from 57 percent to 82 percent of tuition revenue.The success of the Berkeley Tomorrow campaign has enabled the seminary tobegin these new initiatives in areas that we believe are critical to the church’s futuremission. Taken together, they will enable Berkeley to make most advantage of itsunique setting in an ecumenical, university divinity school for forming new, visionary leadership on behalf of the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion.We are also pleased that the campaign has helped to strengthen Berkeley’s ongoing development program, for example by the launching of the Bishop BerkeleySociety for legacy gifts with over 40 founding members. Annual alumni giving hasalso increased significantly, thanks especially to the school’s more focused outreachto pre-1971 graduates. Indeed, a reunion for these graduates at the old Berkeleycampus was for many of us a highlight of the campaign, the first such reunion sincethe buildings were sold in the 1970s.Together with Alan Blanchard (initial campaign chair), we wish to express ourdeep gratitude to each of you who has participated in the campaign by making acapital or annual gift, or by providing for a planned gift as part of your personallegacy. You can be proud of the educational mission you are helping to support: thetraining and formation of articulate, committed, creative men and women to serveChrist’s mission through the church.ital Campaign, we remain deeply aware thatfor Berkeley to realize its full potential, thereremain additional funding priorities: Berkeley Center. Funding and namingthe center through endowmentsupport for its many programs wouldsolidify students’ spiritual and academicformation. 1,000,000 Increased Scholarship Endowment.Though admission to YDS/BDS isneed-blind, we cannot yet provide 100percent of student financial need. As aresult, many of our students graduatewith huge debts, difficult to pay onchurch salaries. 2,000,000 Unrestricted Endowment. Berkeley’sonly source of income—besides theJoseph BrittonPresident and DeanAnnual Fund—is from endowment. AtCharlie TysonCampaign Chairpresent we are stretched to the limit. 2,500,000 Educational Leadership and MinistryProgram. Funded by two generous giftsfrom the Good Samaritan Foundation,and supported as well by the Edward S.Moore Foundation and generous individual gifts, this thriving new programis now in its third year.

Annual Retreats Build Spiritual FoundationAs a cornerstone of the spiritualformation which Berkeley Divinity School students receive, eachof the three MDiv classes makesan annual retreat. For the last several years,the juniors have gone to the Holy CrossMonastery in West Park, New York; themiddlers have done an abbreviated version of the Ignatian exercises with the Sisters of Mercy from Madison, Connecticut;and the seniors have gone on pilgrimage toCanterbury.Sponsored by the Annand Program forSpiritual Formation, the three-year cycle ofretreats is designed to provide a cumulativegrounding in prayer. The first-year retreatat Holy Cross exposes students to the communal Benedictine monastic life that liesnot only behind Berkeley’s own Rule of Life,but also much of Anglican spirituality ingeneral. Then, in the second year, the Ignatian exercises take the students more deeplyinto their own personal relationship withJesus. Finally, the Canterbury pilgrimagehelps them to encounter firsthand both thehistoric depth and the global breadth of theAnglican Communion. The overall goal isto give aspiring church leaders an awareness of belonging to a tradition that is muchbigger than themselves, and even than theEpiscopal Church itself.At Holy Cross Monastery, the juniorsenter into the full round of monastic officeswith the brothers. They also spend timereflecting on how the BDS Rule of Life canhelp to shape their spiritual progress during seminary. Guided by Br. Scott, OHC,the students explore issues of vocationalidentity, comparing their own stories withthose of brothers at many different stagesof discernment, whether as novices or lifeprofessed. Dean Britton, who accompaniedthe juniors this year, commented that “wewere all truly grateful for how open thebrothers were in sharing both the joys andchallenges of their community life, and forallowing us to learn so much from theirexperience.”The middler Ignatian retreat, held thisyear at Incarnation Camp in Ivoryton,Connecticut, is led by Jane Stickney, coor-dinator of the Annand Program, with thecollaboration of sisters from Mercy Center and other Annand mentors. Recognizing the intensity of Jesuit spirituality,which attaches the individual to the person of Christ, the retreat seeks to groundstudents with a similar awareness that aschurch leaders, it is no longer a matter ofoneself, but “of Christ within me.”In Canterbury, the seniors are immersedin the daily round of prayer and study thathas characterized the cathedral for centuries. Whether it is an early morning massin the crypt, or a late night candlelight pilgrimage past the site of Becket’s martyrdom, or a midday tour of the thirteenthcentury glass windows, one is surroundedon all sides by reminders of the great cloudof witnesses which makes up the church.“Every year,” comments Dean Britton, “thestudents come back changed by the week inCanterbury. There they come face to facewith both the great wonder, but also thegreat cost, of Christian discipleship.”The junior class on retreat at Holy Cross Monastery.The chapel, Holy Cross Monastery.The 2011 annual senior class portrait at the tomb of St. Augustine, Canterbury.May 2011 3
Leadership Colloquium: “Behold I Am Doing A New Thing”The Spring Leadership Colloquium isdesigned each year to give studentsan opportunity to meet head on theleadership challenges they will facein parishes, schools, and other institutions they might serve. The Colloquiumassumes two things: that leadership skills,though able to be learned in a didactic format to some extent, are best understoodthrough the experiences of effective leaders in various institutional settings; andthat leadership skills, while local and contextual in detail, can be adapted and transferred to a host of other environments.This semester’s theme was “Behold I amDoing a New Thing: Transforming Discipleship in the 21st Century.” The goal wasto engage students in experiencing a parish,Sloane and Humphrey talked about theirfledgling monastic community that wasborn out of the parish’s desire to be morefully aware of, and in prayer and service for,the city in which they live. The largest lesson learned was one of preparation—don’ttake any short cuts! The lively classroomdiscussion moved to dinner at the BerkeleyCenter with 16 students. Week Three tookus to the inner city of New Haven for a visitto St. Martin de Porres Academy, a NativityMiguel (tuition free extended day) middleschool. There we met with the founder, JayBowes, and heard from two students aboutthe gift of this school and its leaders in theirlives. Many of our students were moved totears. David Gortner, author of the assignedreading for the Colloquium, visited in Feb-Gortner had dinner with 16 students andengaged them in conversation about listening and evangelism.Christ Church in Bethany, Connecticut,a small rural parish, raised close to half amillion dollars to build a residential schoolfor AIDS orphans in Nambali, Kenya. Therector, Peter Stebinger, and two of hisparishioners were our guests to talk aboutjust how that happened. Fr. Peter sharedthe greatest lesson learned in that experience—if you aren’t making your milestones, you need to reconsider the project;the Holy Spirit informs and directs themovement of a project. Also, the studentsreceived some practical advice on forming501(c)3 corporations to avoid the problemof grant applications for church entities. Fr.The goal was to engage students in experiencinga parish, school or other ministry where someone thing, done really well, has transformedthe community.school or other ministry where some onething, done really well, has transformedthe community. Students read David Gortner’s book, Transforming Evangelism, andengaged with church leaders in the largegroup and each other in small groupsexploring creative ministries and progressive evangelism. Dean Joseph Britton wasour opening speaker. He reflected on hiscuracy at St. Michael’s Church in New YorkCity—a church that was virtually raisedfrom the dead by a creative rector who,rather than bemoan what the church didn’thave, made full advantage of what it didhave, including creative use of the large parish hall and rectory. Because the rector hadthe courage to step away from “the same oldthing” and expected better of himself andhis staff, the church survived and thrived.The second week our guests were from St.Paul’s K Street in Washington, D.C. Fathers4 Be r k e l e y D iv i n i t y S c h o o l at YA L Eruary. Students were able to gain insightinto the evangelism work described in thebook. Specifically, Fr. Gortner spoke of listening for the holy in people’s stories. Hegave a moving example of riding the citybus and getting into conversation with thedriver, a conversation that unexpectedlymoved from the mundane to the sacred. Fr.Jay Bowes, founder of St. Martin dePorres Academy, with student.save the date:2011 Annual Convocation to Celebratethe 40 Anniversary of Berkeley’s Affiliation with Yale:thWednesday, October 12, 2011This year marks the 40th anniversary of Berkeley Divinity School’s full affiliation with YaleDivinity School. It was in the spring of 1971 that Dean Michael Allen led the school into whatwe now count as a prized relationship with one of the world’s great centers of theologicaleducation. Please plan to join us for the annual Alumni Convocation when we will celebratethis great milestone in the seminary’s history.
Peter and his parishioners also stressed theimportance of going to the site—buildingrelationship involves more than just writing a check. Earlier in the semester, about20 students met with the Rev. EvalynWakhusama, MDiv ’01, STM ’02, founderof the Nambali Magnet School in Kenya.Mtr. Wakhusama showed a video of theschool and discussed the plight of the million at-risk children in Kenya.Our last Colloquium before SpringBreak was another field trip; thistime to downtown New Havenand the St. Thomas More Catholic Student Center. Students were given a tourof the beautiful facility and sacred chapel; and then heard from Fr. Bob Beloinand his former development guru KerryRobinson (now Executive Director of theLeadership Roundtable on Church Management). They spoke eloquently of spiri-well known to the BDS students involvedin the Episcopal Evangelism Network(EEN), as she was a key workshop presenter at their fall conference, “RelationalEvangelism Tools for Missional Seminarians.” Mtr. Monique dined with studentsand met with members of the EEN overbreakfast the next morning.Harold “Skip” Masback, pastor of theCongregational Church of New Canaan,visited in April, along with his two YouthDirectors, to speak about youth ministry.The church in New Canaan, which hasover 300 young people enrolled in its youthprograms, runs three distinct programs toserve children from grades 5-12. The programs are so popular that there are morelocal high school students in the programthan not. Part of their secret is the beliefthat youth group is primarily educational.They develop a year-long plan and executeit much the way a teacher might; includingIan Cron, founder of Trinity Church, Greenwich, CT, addresses the Leadership Colloquium.tual fundraising—how to keep the Holy atthe forefront of development. The Centerhosts a thriving chaplaincy to Yale undergraduate and graduate students, 28 percent of whom are Roman Catholic.Fresh from a two-week Spring Break,students met with Mother Monique Ellison, from Listening Hearts in Baltimore,Maryland. Mtr. Monique spoke aboutcommunity organizing; specifically aboutbuilding relationships and listening for theneeds of a community. Her work is alreadythe ability to be flexible and adapt to everchanging circumstances. The youth leadersstressed the importance of involvement inthe children’s lives outside of Sunday andyouth group meetings—they go to soccermatches, school plays, and local concerts.Our last guest for the semester was Fr. IanCron, founder of Trinity Church in Greenwich, a thriving ecumenical non-traditionalchurch. Fr. Ian spoke of the journey froma casual conversation about art and spirituality to the “accidental” founding of achurch that uses, extensively, arts (bothvisual and auditory) in worship of God. Fr.Ian encouraged the students to hear Godin music, letting them develop a “Shalom”chord that filled the room with God—“youcannot say that there is any space in thisroom that is not now filled with the Shalom.” His message? “Just do it.” If you havea spark, allow it to burn. The conversationcontinued over dinner, cookies, and coffee.In addition to these wonderful gueststhe students spent three weeks working insmall groups, talking about the “inner transformation” Gortner speaks of in his book.Specifically, they spent the first two meetings talking with one another about selflove, self-knowledge, compassion, courage,integrity, and humility. They entertainedsuch questions as “how can you developcourage as a spiritual practice?” and “Haveyou ever felt divided against yourself, acting or speaking contrary to your own deep-Ian Cron talking with students at dinnerest convictions? What did you do about it?”Through these small group interactionsstudents practiced both telling their ownstories and listening for the Holy in the stories of others. The third small group sessionfocused on the concept of “radical listening” (Gortner): paying attention to stories,words, and actions of those we encounter inour day to day living, learning to listen forthe movement of the Spirit, and daring toname it.—Greta GetleinMay 2011 5
Deans to Bishops: Seminaries Are Alive and WellFor the first time in anyone’s memory,the Episcopal Church’s seminarydeans and bishops met together toreflect on their common concern forthe recruitment and training of new leadership in the church. The deans joined a portion of the spring meeting of the House ofand preaching the word. Echoing BDS’sown Professor Christopher Beeley, whohas observed the importance of teachingand preaching the early church’s approachto pastoral leadership, the paper arguesthat “the long-term vitality of the churchdepends upon the core of its leadershipto take risks and to bridge the secular/religious divide in contemporary society.As convener of the Council of Deans,BDS’s Joseph Britton spoke on the deans’behalf to the assembled bishops, summarizing the renewed vitality and innovativespirit that the seminaries are creating. By“The long-term vitality of the church depends upon the core of itsleadership being deeply grounded theologically.”—Council of Deans briefing paperBishops at the Kanuga Conference Centerin Hendersonville, North Carolina.In preparation for the conversations,the Council of Deans drafted a briefingpaper that sought to counteract a widespread perception that the seminaries areall struggling, and that the age of full-time,residential seminary education is over.“Across the board,” the report observes,“the seminaries of the Episcopal Churchare responding to changing circumstancesin creative and innovative ways that resistthe perception that the seminaries arenot a vital, significant and even necessaryresource for securing the Church’s futurethrough trained, skilled, committed layand ordained leadership.”In the paper, the seminary deansaffirmed several common values amongthe eleven schools, including a celebration of the diversity of their theologicalperspectives; their mission to serve thechurch; the critical importance of formation in community; and the importanceof thoughtful, articulate clergy in teachingThe “Spring” Semester of 2011 started off with snowfallof more than 50 inches, transforming the Sterling DivinityQuadrangle into a winter paradise.6 Be r k e l e y D iv i n i t y S c h o o l at YA L Ebeing deeply grounded theologically.”In table discussions, the deans heardfrom the bishops of the shift many of themare making toward more active recruitmentof new aspirants for ordination, rather thanthe typical self-nominating pattern of thepast. Bishops repeatedly spoke of the needfor “entrepreneurial” clergy, by which theymean self-starting clergy who are willingway of illustrating the point, each deanthen gave a 30-second snapshot of somenew initiative that his or her own seminaryis taking. Open discussion from the floorfollowed, and the bishops rewarded thedeans for their presentation with a standing ovation, signaling what all seemed tohope is a new collaborative partnershipbetween seminaries and dioceses.
BDS Students Launch Episcopal Evangelism NetworkIn the fall of 2009, five first year Berkeley students, Terri Bays, Hilary Camblos, Emily Kempson, Shane Marcus,Sam Owen, and I began gatheringweekly to discuss how we could betterprepare ourselves, during seminary, to becapable of starting new ministries thatwere culturally and liturgically appropriate for the mission context and weregrounded in the Episcopal Church’s incarnational and baptismal theology. Fromthis beginning, we launched the Episcopal Evangelism Network. This year, EENhas grown into an inter-seminary networkthat is attempting to connect and equipprogressive evangelists with vocations incontextualized entrepreneurial mission.We started this September with a conference in Baltimore co-designed with theEpiscopal Village. Berkeley Divinity Schoolsponsored a five-hour EEN seminar onchurch planting from scratch led by theRev. Monique Ellison. Over 50 Episcopal seminarians from ten different schoolsattended the conference with another 200participants. In January, Berkeley and theDiocese of Connecticut gave support foran EEN retreat for Berkeley/Yale and Episcopal Divinity School. There the Rev. RobVoyle introduced us to appreciative inquiryas a spiritual practice for entrepreneurialmissioners. In February, EEN membersattended the Fund for Theological Education’s congregational mission discernmenttraining, VocationCare. In March, EENheld an inter-seminary leadership conference at Virginia Theological Seminarywhere students from six Episcopal seminaries gathered to share ideas for strengthening seminary education for progressiveevangelism and contextualized entrepreneurial mission. Berkeley first year studentsMegan Anderson, Matthew Lukens, and Iorganized the conference, which was madepossible by VTS’s generous offer of housing and meeting space and a grant from theEvangelical Education Society.This semester, at the invitation of Trinity Wall Street, we are conducting a churchBerkeley student members of the Episcopal Evangelism Networkgrowth consultation for that parish with afocus on young adult ministry. The consultation exists as a student directed reading course, with faculty support fromDean Britton, and features collaborativeand experiential learning. Eleven peopleare in the class.For next year, we are planning to partner with St. Hilda’s House, an EpiscopalService Core organization, to assist in theexpansion of their ministry of intentionalcommunity in New Haven. EEN’s role willbe to engage the neighborhood in a relational listening process to connect it withSaint Hilda’s. We believe that out of therelationships developed from this listening process a new Episcopal worshipingcommunity may arise.As Berkeley students, we are particularly proud that we were able to start, fromhere, a student movement for greater educational opportunities for evangelism fromour seminary, and our spirits are buoyedby the support we have received from theseminary in this adventure.—Otis Gaddis III, MDiv ’12Fund Named for FormerDean as He BecomesBishop of WesternNew YorkThe Rev.
