The story of theological education is central to the story of the Episcopal Church and a key element to the history and development of Christianity in the United States. This book charts the history of Bexley Seabury Seminary and its predecessor bodies, Bexley Hall and Seabury-Western Theological Seminary. This history reflects the significant changes that have impacted the Episcopal Church, in part examining how theological education and formation has been complicit in structures of systemic racism, marginalization, and oppression. Yet this is also story of innovation and development in response to sweeping changes that have impacted North American Christianity. Beyond Walls tells the history of Bexley Seabury Seminary on the occasion of its bicentennial, yet in doing so holds up a mirror that reflects many elements of the Episcopal Church and mainline Protestant Christianity over the past two centuries.
