Spiritual life has nearly as many definitions as there are people willing to try and define it.
At Union and in New York City there are unlimited opportunities to participate in a wide variety of spiritual expressions. Theological education must have spiritual health and growth at its very center and be understood as a resource that can successfully be integrated into one's intellectual and professional life. While it should not be regarded as a substitute for critical theological reflection, it should be perceived as a tool that assists in the process. At Union, we strive to infuse both the intellectual life and the professional life with a consciousness and intentionality toward spiritual growth and direction. The Seminary Pastor's Office, established in 1988, provides pastoral care and promotes the spiritual growth and development of the entire Seminary.
