Eden Theological Seminary
- Eden Theological Seminary
Eden Theological Seminary is a seminary of the United Church of Christ. It was established in 1850 by German pastors in what was then the American frontier. The pastors soon formed the German Evangelical Synod of North America. This, after subsequent mergers, became a part of the United Church of Christ. Conversations at Eden Theological Seminary, beginning in 1937, led to the 1957 merger of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and Congregational Christian Churches and the formation of the United Church of Christ. Famous alumni of Eden include Reinhold Niebuhr, H. Richard Niebuhr, and Walter Brueggemann. It is located in Webster Groves, Missouri, near St. Louis, Missouri.
Eden's mission and purpose is as follows: Eden Theological Seminary is called by Jesus Christ to be a school of the church. Eden is called to strengthen and support the life and mission of the church by educating pastors and teachers, enlivening critical reflection on faith, and encouraging Christian discipleship.
