Our Baptismal Covenant calls each of us to:
- Continue in the Apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers;
- Persevere in resisting evil, repent and return to the Lord;
- Proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ;
- Seek to serve Christ in all persons, loving neighbor as self;
- Strive for justice and peace among all people, respecting the dignity of every human being.
The Mercer School of Theology exists to help all of us to be better formed as lay and ordained ministers in Christ’s church to fulfill these covenantal promises.
We enter a new era in the history of the Mercer School as we once again recapture all of the dimensions that the school was founded to do: The education of qualified people for the priesthood and the diaconate and to empower the laity “in the whole sweep of the Church’s life and works” (Bishop DeWolfe, 12/27/1958 dedication of the present building sermon).
As the various programs for lay and ordained ministry develop at the Mercer School of Theology, we invite you to enter in and be part of a new beginning. You may enroll for all of our courses, retreat days, and workshops on line. Go to our “Offerings” link and join us for building up of your mind and spirit.
Our Library is one of only two theological libraries on Long Island. We offer a rich variety of books for your study and ongoing formation. Again click on the “Library” link and see what’s new.
Welcome to the Mercer School of Theology where you will find we are dedicated to “nurturing minds and souls to empower ministry.”
The Rev. Canon Denis C. Brunelle
Director
