The faculty reflects the uniqueness of the School of Theology and Ministry and the complexity of its mission. It embodies the integration of theological education, pastoral skills training, and spiritual development that STM hopes to engender in its students. The faculty devotes its primary attention to graduate degree programs, but also provides expertise in continuing education programs, consultation services, theological scholarship, and spiritual formation.
Faculty members teach and model the integration of theological reflection and pastoral skills advocated by the school. Consequently most faculty members are also directly engaged in ministry: liturgical preaching and presiding, spiritual direction, ecclesial consultation, adult religious education, catechist formation, workshops for clergy and pastoral leaders, and other service areas.

Gary L. Chamberlain
BA, St. Louis University;
MA, University of Chicago;
PhD, 1973 Graduate Theological Union;
Professor, Seattle University, 1979
Dr. Chamberlain approaches each STM class with an excitement of engaging in discussion and reflection on not just the reading for the class but more importantly, the ways in which the students and the author have dialogued. He has spent time in class making sure each voice is heard in some way, through small group discussion, or just going around the room for short responses. He sees himself as a student in this context also, learning and being challenged by other students. Dr. Chamberlain promotes dialogue between and among students and himself to further the development of a community of learners. Through a modified model based on Lonergan's approach to experience, knowledge, understanding, and action, the texts, discussions, and small group work challenge students to deeper levels of dialogue and reflection. A journal of reflections is incorporated into the class along with a final paper and presentation.
