Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) is a seminary based in Berkeley, California. As one of eight seminaries training ministers and educators for the ELCA, PLTS was preceded by a school called the Pacific Lutheran Seminary, which was located first in Portland, Oregon, and then in Seattle, Washington, from 1910 to 1934. At present, PLTS has fifteen professors and offers Master’s and Doctoral Degree programs in Theology, Ministry, Education, and other forms of Christian service. The seminary is partnered with Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, to serve all of Regions I, II, and III an ELCA designation that covers thirteen synods and the western U.S. In 1989 PLTS opened a satellite school in Manhattan Beach, California, which in 1992 moved to the Claremont School of Theology. PLTS was founded to meet the missional needs of the Lutheran Church in the west fifty years ago. PLTS was a founding member of the Graduate Theological Union. PLTS is proud of our Lutheran heritage, and strongly committed to renewing it. With them PLTS has worked to develop a highly-praised Theological Education for Emerging Ministries program.
