Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Coordinates: 40.46667° N 79.92167° W Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, founded in 1794, is a graduate theological institution associated with the Presbyterian Church USA. The consolidation of two previously separate institutions, Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary (United Presbyterian Church of North America) and Western Theological Seminary (Presbyterian Church USA), led to the formation of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in 1959. The history of the Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary began with the founding of Service Seminary in 1794 by the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania. Service Seminary moved twice, first to Ohio where it became Xenia Theological Seminary. In 1930 it merged with a seminary that was founded in Pittsburgh in 1825 and together they formed the Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary. Western Theological Seminary, the other branch of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary’s pre-1959 history, began with the establishment of classical academies in Washington, PA, the first in 1785 by Joseph Smith and another in 1787 by John McMillan. Since the 1959 consolidation, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has been located on the former Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary campus in the Highland Park/East Liberty section of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. On display in the library lobby are the desk and chair of Karl Barth, dedicated to Pittsburgh Theological Seminary by Barth’s son, Markus Barth, a faculty member from 1963-1972. Students may earn up to 6 transferable quarter credits through Pittsburgh Theological Seminary for their participation in the excavations and field school. The seminary sponsors the Summer Youth Institute (SYI), which provides young people a Christian community where they can be challenged to move beyond their comfort zone in order to grow in faith, engage in academic theological study, explore ministry as a vocation, and learn about Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), however, over 20 denominations are represented at the seminary. Groups that have remained consistently year after year include, The Association of Women at Seminary (AWS), African-American Student Fellowship (NIA), The Evangelical Student Fellowship (ESF), the International Student Association, the Peace &
