One of 13 seminaries founded and supported by the United Methodist Church, the school has from its beginnings been ecumenical in aspiration, teaching, and practice. With many diverse theological perspectives represented here, students find common ground through immersion in Scripture and the church’s tradition for addressing the challenges of faith in contemporary contexts.</p> <p><a href="/about/contact-us">Contact Us »</a><br> <a href="/about/directions-parking">Directions & Parking »</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--quote paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--2232 paragraph--bgimage--126 paragraph--bgcolor--white paragraph--margin--no-margins paragraph--padding--padding-both"> <div class="background-overlay"> <span role="img" aria-label="votive candles on steps up to altar in Goodson Chapel"></span> <div class="field field--name-field-component-background-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Image</div> <div class="field__item"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component-wrapper"> <div class="component-quote-content-wrapper"> <div class="component-quote-photo"> <div class="field field--name-field-component-quote-photo field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/media_image_square/public/images/media-images/edgardo_colon_emeric_headshot.jpeg?h=f3e98ed5&itok=-L2W4cLw" width="350" height="350" alt="Edgardo Colón-Emeric headshot in black suit and red tie in front of Pentecost window" loading="lazy" class="image-style-media-image-square" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <blockquote class="blockquote"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>"<span><span><span>As the dean of the first professional school established at Duke University, I dream of a Divinity School that is first among equals in promoting scholarship and lives that treat the wounds of injustice and transfigure this beautiful, broken world through God’s message of love for all. </span></span></span>"</p></div> </blockquote> <div class="div-hr"></div> <div class="blockquote-footer"> <cite title="Source Title"> <div class="field field--name-field-byline field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Dean Edgardo Colón-Emeric</div> </cite> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image-text-and-button paragraph--view-mode--no-image paragraph--id--2233 paragraph--bgcolor--darknavy paragraph--margin--no-margins paragraph--padding--padding-both"> <div class="background-overlay"> <div class="component-wrapper container row"> <div class="component--img-txt-btn--container-left col col-12 col-lg-9"> <h2 class="component-heading">Read a Message From the Dean</h2> <p>See a message from Edgardo Colón-Emeric, dean of Duke Divinity School.</p> </div> <div class="component--img-txt-btn--container-right col col-12 col-lg-3 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-lg-center"> <div class="buttons-wrapper mt-3 mt-lg-0"> <a href="/about/vision" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Read the Message <span class="sr-only"></span></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--simple-text paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--2203"> <div class="background-overlay"> <div class="component-wrapper container gx-md-0"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>The Importance of Diversity at Duke Divinity</h2> <p><a href="/initiatives/racial-justice">Learn about anti-racism efforts at Duke Divinity.</a></p> <p>We seek to build a diverse and inclusive community consistent with the scriptural vision that: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female: for all of you are one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). It is in this light that, as part of its mission to prepare leaders for the church, the academy, and the world, Duke Divinity is committed to the importance of diversity. At a practical level, Duke Divinity recognizes the need to prepare students for ministry, teaching, and leadership in multi-cultural and multi-faith contexts, whether in the United States or elsewhere. To do this well, our own community must seek to wrestle with and embody diversity in its faculty, staff, and student body. Given the historical legacies, social locations, and confessional commitments of Duke Divinity, diversity in this context is particularly focused on, but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, denominational affiliation, age, sexual orientation, learning styles, and physical ability. Encountering and learning alongside others not like us offers opportunities for all of us to deepen our understanding of ourselves, our society, and our roles as pastors, ministers, teachers, and leaders. Attention to and inclusion of diversity helps foster more faithful, hopeful, and loving forms of common life.</p> <p>Furthermore, a diverse faculty, staff, and student body helps generate an environment for deeper and broader theological reflection and formation. We believe that students who have the opportunity to interact with many varied perspectives and backgrounds will be better prepared to address fruitfully the historical legacies of injustice and conflict where they serve; critically and sensitively engage the different cultural contexts they will encounter in their vocations after graduation; and be able to develop robust theological and pastoral responses to an ever-changing environment. A diverse and hospitable community opens up more opportunities for potentially transformational experiences that assist students in developing the skills necessary to serve a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-faith world with integrity and wisdom.</p> <p>As part of its mission, Duke Divinity seeks to foster a cohesive theological vision that is neither narrow nor homogeneous—one that is deeply rooted in critical engagement with Scripture and honors a range of theological traditions in conversation with a plurality of historical, geographic, and social settings. </p> <h2>Divinity School Bylaws</h2> <p>View our rules and bylaws:</p> <div data-embed-button="embed_file" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.file_download_link"
