A big thank you to the many people who have assisted in making the new UTS website possible. The contributions and feedback have been really helpful. The collaboration has pointed UTS communications in new directions: aesthetics, having best practices, being current, and ease of use. Easter is a propitious time for the UTS website to experience renewal and the re-commitment to support UTS and its mission to bridge religious and cultural divides. The new website and corresponding social media will help create and cultivate ongoing relationships among trustees, faculty, staff,...

This article was first published on the Applied Unificationism Blog, and is adapted from Dr. Selig’s new book, My Journey to Become a Hospital Chaplain, available from Lulu.com (142 pp.). Those interested in a career as a chaplain, working in a hospital, hospice, the military, or correctional facility, should check out UTS’s Chaplaincy Track. It was early morning at the hospital when I was called to an elderly patient’s room. The son and his family had driven all night to be there. As I entered the room, it was as if a curtain was being drawn open, a spotlight appeared, the audience...

We are changing how we communicate, how we relate to the world, and how we provide content. UTS seeks to develop relationships and provide value to our audience. So wherever you are accessing content on the Internet, we want to be there with you.

This is similar to the use of mobile throughout the USA and increasingly throughout the world. “Mobile” does not only mean smartphones, but rather any device that you can carry with you to receive...

BARRYTOWN – We often hear of the enduring faith and love a mother has for her child. A faith and love so strong that it resonates far beyond what we would ordinarily believe possible. We don’t always equate that same faith and love with the source from which it flows, from its origin, from the Creator. For Damon Cabbagestalk, a second-year student in the Doctor of Ministry program at the Unification Theological Seminary (UTS), however, it is precisely because of God’s enduring faith and love that he finds himself where he is today. And with a dream of where he will be...

NEW YORK – When the word diversity is heard today it often implies a difference of skin color, religion or gender. When the Reverend Raymond Dyer (M.Div.‘12), pastor of the First Church of Illumination in Harlem since 1999, uses the word, however, he’s speaking of another form of diversity: a diversity of ideas and thought not confined to race, religion, ethnicity or gender. During his time as a student at the Manhattan campus of the Unification Theological Seminary (UTS) starting nearly a decade ago, it quickly became clear to him that he was involved in a very unique kind of...

New York – “Spiritual Mentoring” is offered as a 3 credit, Continuing Education Course (CEU), one of the UTS offerings in its lifelong learning program. It is held in Tarrytown, New York, and started on February 16, 2016. When I first heard the topic of the class I was interested right away. I have always considered myself a naturally spiritual person and mentor.   The information and assignments after having a few classes has already transformed my life. I use the term “transformed” because “changed” just does not suffice. The class has given me a stronger sense of self, the...
