Introducing Our Sixth Ecclesial Theologian Fellowship

We are delighted to officially introduce the newest members of our Ecclesial Theologian Fellowships.

These by-application fellowships are the central hub for all of our programming here at the CPT. Together, these six groups consist of nearly 120 members representing roughly 30 Protestant traditions. The goal of these fellowships is to provide a select group of highly-qualified pastor theologians with the motivation, network, and resources necessary for ongoing pastoral formation and Christian theological leadership.

The new Sixth Fellowship will gather for its first meeting in Chicago in early 2023. We are confident that this group will play an important role in the theological renewal of the church for many years to come. Please join us in congratulating these newest members of our Ecclesial Theologian Fellowships!
