Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York
Founded in 1836, the Seminary forged a new vision for theological education: to center ministerial training in an urban context so that academic excellence and personal faith might respond to the needs of the city. The Directors of the Seminary had as one of their aims that the very buildings should become an element in the education of those who live and study within its walls. The architects in carrying out this aim settled on perpendicular Gothic as the most appropriate expression of a quiet theological atmosphere. Tours organized by Columbia University.
