The Whimsy of Calling and Community

Dean Yejide Peters Pietersen joins us to discuss what it's like to apply to and be a student at Berkeley Divinity School, the Episcopal seminary at Yale. This is the perfect episode for people thinking about exploring their call or applying to seminary—or for people who know those people! Dean Pietersen reflects on vocational discernment and how theological education is for everyone. She shares how Berkeley at Yale strives to be a welcoming and inclusive environment (starting with its full-tuition scholarships!). We talk about Berkeley's community life focus and the integration of intellectual, spiritual, and practical aspects of ministry that Berkeley students experience during their time here.
