American Baptist Seminary of the West Summary

American Baptist Seminary of the West (ABSW) is a theological school affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA and the Progressive National Baptist Convention. To reflect the fact that the school was no longer wholly in Berkeley, it was renamed the American Baptist Seminary of the West, but six years later the Covina faculty moved to the Berkeley campus, effecting considerable cost savings and at the same time availing themselves of the resources of the Graduate Theological Union.
