Garrett–Evangelical Theological Seminary (G-ETS) is a graduate school of theology of The United Methodist Church located in Evanston, Illinois. It is located a few miles north of Chicago on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The seminary offers a number of masters and doctoral-level degree programs in theology and is actively engaged in outreach to congregations focusing in the Midwest but with influence around the world. ==History〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.garrett.edu/history-born-of-mergers )〕 == Founded in 1853〔 through the liberality of Mrs. Eliza Garrett, Garrett-Evangelical is the result of the interweaving of three institutions: * Garrett Biblical Institute, the first Methodist seminary in the Midwest, was established in 1853 by largely the same church people who founded Northwestern University. Its founders hoped that the school would shape mind and spirit toward an educated ministry. * The Chicago Training School, established in 1885, was an important force for women in ministry and for developing service agencies throughout Chicago. Chicago Training School merged with Garrett Biblical Institute in 1934. * Evangelical Theological Seminary, located in Naperville and founded as a seminary of the Evangelical Church (later the Evangelical United Brethren) in 1873. Garrett-Evangelical was formed in 1974 when the Garrett Theological Seminary in Evanston merged with the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Naperville, Illinois (both UMC schools). The merged school occupied the Garrett campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 Garrett-Evangelical is on the campus of Northwestern University and continues many associations with the university. The school was a pioneer institution in preparing women for ministry.〔Keller, Rosemary Skinner, "Conversions and Their Consequences: Women's Ministry and Leadership in the United Methodist Tradition" in Catherine Wessinger, Religious Institutions and Women's Leadership, South Carolina University Press, 1996, pp. 101-123.〕 The Chicago Training School for Home and Foreign Missions for women was merged into Garrett Biblical Institute in 1930. Dr. Georgia Harkness was the first woman to hold the post of professor of theology at any seminary in the United States. The Center for the Church and the Black Experience was one of the earliest centers focusing on ministry and the African American experience. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garrett–Evangelical Theological Seminary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
