• To explore ways to carry forward the ecumenical inspiration underlying the School of Theology & Ministry, and also its interreligious engagement.
• To explore ways to honor the legacy of STM in a closing celebration in spring 2023, and to recommend a tangible way to memorialize the school’s history.
