Episcopal Divinity School has stopped granting degrees at its Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus, but the school is not closing. Instead it will join Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
EDS and Union signed an agreement on the collaboration May 19, and Kelly Brown Douglas, an Episcopal priest, scholar, and author of Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God, was named the first dean of EDS at Union.
