Welcoming New LeadershipOver the past year, the Moravian community has welcomed new leadership across numerous campus offices. These individuals bring new ideas, initiatives, and skill sets that will help enrich the mission and values of the institution in valuable ways. Most notably, in July, Bryon L. Grigsby ’90 began his tenure as the 16th president of Moravian College and Moravian Theological Seminary.

faith and Education

President Grigsby’s faith journey has been informed by the Moravians since his early adulthood. When looking for a college, Bryon, an active Methodist, was sold by Moravian’s small class size and the opportunity to play first string soccer in his freshman year. As he learned about Moravians, he came to value their commitment to learning exemplified by Comenius, the father of modern education. He also loved their openness or “liberty” in non-essentials.

As he was discerning between graduate schools, Bryon visited two campuses. He trekked to Boston College, where he navigated city blocks in the midst of a snow storm. Then, he visited Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, NC, on what turned out to be a glorious spring day. In discussing his inclination towards Wake Forest with his mentor, Dr. Robert Burcaw, he was told, “You have managed to find the only two Moravian hot spots in all of America!” After earning an M.A. from Wake Forest, Bryon went on to earn his Ph.D. from Loyola University Chicago, specializing in medieval literature, early modern literature, and the history of medicine. Now, his career path has brought him full circle to Bethlehem as he serves his alma mater.

In Bethlehem, Central Moravian Church has been happy to welcome Bryon into membership. Bryon loves worship and attending an adult class taught by MTS Dean and VP Frank Crouch and Professor Craig Atwood.

academics and Innovation

Bryon has published a monograph, Pestilence in Medieval and Renaissance English Literature, and co-edited a collection of essays, Misconceptions of the Middle Ages. He also served as the general editor for the online journal Medica and was one of the founding members and inaugural president of Medica: The Society for the Study of Health and Healing in the Middle Ages.

Immediately prior to Moravian, Bryon served as senior vice president and vice president for academic affairs at Shenandoah University. Under his leadership, Shenandoah became the first environmentally friendly laptop campus, distributing MacBook Pros and iPod Touches to all incoming students. Bryon also shepherded a new first-year seminar program which provided the starting point for undergraduates to become good global citizens, and he worked on a successful $65 million capital campaign.

campus Initatives and community Involvement

One of Bryon’s first initiatives is to convert Moravian to an all Mac and iPad campus. In January, Seminary faculty will be the first on campus to receive specialized training to use this technology to enhance the classroom experience.

Always active in local organizations, Bryon joined the Bethlehem Rotary. The community is blessed to have this father of three children and his rescue greyhound, named Mo, adding dynamic energy to campus life.

The Common Thread2

legacy of leadershipThanks to excellent record keeping, we can look back on the strong leadership at MTS to the beginning in 1807 and note some interesting evolutions in leadership structure and titles.

For the first 50 years or so in MTS history, one of the faculty members was usually designated as principal, inspector or principal professor.

L.F. Kampmann held the principal position beginning in 1858. The Synod of 1864 changed that title to President. Other Seminary leaders referred to as President were: Lewis R. HuebneR (1864-67), edmund descHweinitz (1867-85), augustus scHuLtze (1885-1918), J. tayLoR HamiLton (1918-28); and wiLLiam n. scHwaRze (1928-43).

As the institution grew to include both a liberal arts college and a seminary, the leadership model evolved, too. In 1930, w. ViVian moses became the Seminary’s first Dean, serving that role until 1946.

In 1946, KennetH g. HamiLton took on the role of Dean, but was almost immediately elected Northern Province PEC President, resigning to serve the Moravian Church. A faculty member, samueL zeLLeR, served as acting dean for the remainder of that year.

VeRnon w. couiLLaRd served as Dean from 1947-66. He became the first Seminary Dean to also serve as Vice President in the combined Moravian College and Seminary.

JoHn R. weinLicK served as Dean and Vice President from 1966-1971, followed by the most recent three individuals to hold those positions:

biLL matz (1971-88) daVid scHattscHneideR (1988- 2001)FRanK cRoucH (2001-Present)

Leadership in AdvancementThe Seminary advancement office has also welcomed a new leader. The Rev. Dr. Christine L. Nelson will head overall development efforts as the Director of Seminary Advancement. Most recently serving as the Executive Director of the Lehigh County Conference of Churches for fourteen years, Chris has a wealth of experience in various church and community organizations. After earning a MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, she was ordained in 1978 by the United Church of Christ and served at three local parishes. In 1998, Christine received her D.Min. from Hartford Seminary. Chris has led many community initiatives and earned several prestigious awards for her work towards peace, ending homelessness, interfaith dialogue, women’s leadership, and community development. She also has extensive experience serving on boards and leadership teams, including at the national level of the UCC as chair of the Stewardship Council. Christine fills the position vacated upon John Williams’ retirement.

Leadership in EnrollmentMTS is also blessed to have Angela Colon-Rivera take on the role of Director of Enrollment. Angela is a dedicated member of the Moravian community, earning her bachelor’s degree from Moravian College in 2007 and her MBA from the Comenius Center in 2013. While working towards her graduate degree, Angela served the Moravian College admissions

team, where she was promoted to Senior Assistant of Admissions in 2011. In an introductory note to MTS students, Angela wrote, “In my time here as a student as well as an employee, I have come to truly appreciate being surrounded by the greatness that is the Moravian community. My hopes and dreams in my new role are to offer you the encouragement to embrace your God given talents and think about how you can give back to the community by embracing the mission of the institution.” Angie assumes the prior role of Ann Gibson, who moved on from the position to serve as Director of Development at Northeast Ministries.

Leadership in TechnologyTo advance Moravian in the realm of technology, President Grigsby has appointed Scott Hughes to the new position of Chief Information Officer. Scott began his career in the United States Army from 1983–96, attaining the rank of Sergeant First Class. From 1999–2004, he worked in the IT field for a variety of organizations. In 2004, he began work at Centenary College as the Chief Technology Officer, guiding the school through implementation of various educational systems and software, gaining national recognition for the institution. Scott holds an MBA from NYU and a BS from Rutgers University. Scott is tasked with guiding Moravian through several major technological transitions, including migrating to Google for email and calendar functions, the Mac transition, and enhancing the wireless networks on and around campus.

Moravian Theological Seminary 3

As part of her sabbatical, Rev. Dr. Deborah Appler visited Teofilo Kisanji University (TEKU) in Mbeya, Tanzania and Friends Theological College in Kaimosi, Kenya. In partnership with Nancy Bowen, Professor of Old Testament at Earlham School of Theology, and the faculties at both seminaries, she explored issues of violence against women. With the support of the Moravian Unity Women’s Desk, the faculties at TEKU and MTS are compiling a resource that can be used by church leaders to work toward the safety and wholeness for women plagued by violence.

At the November meeting of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature, Dr. Tim Luckritz Marquis presented two papers, both on recent approaches to the Gospel of Luke: “Traumatic & Exceptional Glory: Luke’s Transfiguration between Theopolitics & Postcolonial Narrative,” and “Faithful Economies: Agamben, Government, & the Unjust Steward (Luke 6:1-13).” Professors Appler and Williams also presented papers.

catching up

Rev. Dr. Jane Williams invites MAPC alumni and students to a free interactive webcast on the MTS campus each semester. Each event provides the opportunity to learn about a relevant topic, network over lunch with peers, and earn CEUs. The first webcast event was held on December 4 and welcomed a dozen attendees.

Rev. Dr. Craig Atwood was interviewed by a film crew from the Czech Republic for an upcoming documentary about Moravian missionary David Zeisberger, one of the religious refugees who became a famous missionary to the Delaware people.

Distance Learning Opportunities at MTSFor the past year, Rev. Dr. Riddick Weber, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry, has been leading the way in distance education at MTS. Through three online courses, eight students in seven cities in three different states and one Canadian province have joined the MTS community. This past semester, Dean Frank Crouch joined Professor Weber to co-teach the Moravian Polity and Worship class to students in four remote locations. These courses have removed geographic barriers for students, allowed instructors to represent the seminary in various locations during the semester, and offered the opportunity for guest speakers to present from different locales.

Since co-teaching a course with Riddick two years ago, Dr. Jill Peters, CROSSROADS Lay Leadership Director, has also embraced the use of technology for reaching participants who are unable to attend courses in person. The first CROSSROADS experience with distance education occurred after a regular participant moved away. She remotely connected to her last two courses so she could graduate from the program. This fall, a woman from Staten Island connected to the Compass course using our newest distance learning platform and has had such a satisfying experience that she will continue coursework this winter.

Students in the distance education courses reported fulfilling experiences and celebrated the opportunity the technology has offered, the community they have formed with students across geography, and the connections they have formed with the Seminary.

MTS will be expanding online offerings in the coming semester. In spring 2014, two courses will be offered with the option to attend physically or remotely via webcam. Moravian History with Rev. Dr. Craig Atwood will be offered on Fridays from 9am–noon, and Spiritual Classics for the Contemplative in Action with Barb Martell will be offered on Thursdays from 1–3pm.

The number of seats for students attending remotely is limited. If you are interested in enrolling for either of these distance learning opportunities, please contact Angela Rivera at [email protected] or 610.861.1512.

The Common Thread4

Distance learning has given me an opportunity to learn about Moravian theology & traditions without having

to leave my ministry setting … The classes have made me feel

a part of a broader Moravian community, & I have new friends all

over the country now. —chaz Snider, charlotte, nc

can you imagine being in a class where you get the personal attention of your tutor? That’s what my online

class at MTS is like. —nigel Powell, Jamaica, ny

We have built a wonderful community of distance learning students &

professors … I am blessed to be able to sing, pray, read, & learn with

other Moravian brothers & sisters who are serving in different areas of

the US. —fran Saylor, raleigh, nc

Honoring a Long Time LeaderDuring the fall meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Bahnson Center garden was dedicated to honor the service of Lyn Trodahl Chynoweth ’68, who served as Chair of the Seminary Board from 1999–2007 & the Joint Board Chair from 2007–13. In May, Moravian College also presented her with an honorary doctorate for her contributions to both the College and Seminary. Moravian Theological Seminary has been blessed to have Lyn’s leadership and guidance as part of the community over the past fourteen years.
