General Seminary board keeps dean, offers to reinstate faculty
The embattled General Theological Seminary will keep its controversial dean and is prepared to reinstate the majority of its faculty.
In late September, eight full-time professors quit teaching classes and attending official seminary meetings or chapel services until they could sit down with the seminary board to discuss concerns about the seminary’s dean, Kurt Dunkle.
The seminary board accepted the resignations of the faculty, which the professors said they had never offered. The dispute left the flagship Episcopal seminary scrambling to find teachers for its classes.
