Summer Session 2009 at PLTS, PSR and CARE
Challenge your mind, nurture your spirit, and engage the world!
The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the largest, most diverse, and most educated metropolitan areas in the country. Our campus in Berkeley is adjacent to the University of California, and minutes from the urban centers of San Francisco, Oakland, and the Silicon Valley, and from thousands of acres of regional parkland. Cultural and religious diversity are not just concepts at PLTS.
Our summer session in sunny Berkeley, California is sponsored by Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Pacific School of Religion, and CARE. It is designed explicitly for clergy and lay leaders who want to broaden their theological understanding and strengthen their skills for effective ministry. Each week-long course runs for five days (mornings or afternoons). Summer session runs June 29–August 7. For course dates and descriptions, click here.
