Fuller has initiated a small international theological consortium as part of the seminary’s desire to be formed and challenged by voices beyond the United States.

The participating institutions include:

• Asian Theological Seminary in Manila, Philippines
• Seminario Bíblico de Medellin (the Biblical Seminary in Medellin) in Colombia
• Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt

Through this consortium, faculty from partner schools will teach at Fuller, as well as participate in Fuller faculty discussion and, in some cases, decision-making, while benefiting from Fuller’s faculty development, library, and other resources. Fuller students benefit from the perspectives these international faculty bring, while consortium partners’ students may enroll in consortium-taught courses for credit.

The ITC initiative is being funded by a generous gift from Meritt and Steve Sawyer, both of whom are long-time supporters of Fuller and champions of international theological education and partnerships. Meritt Sawyer, a Fuller trustee, has drawn from her deep engagement with global leaders for over 40 years. Meritt and Steve see these chairs, and the International Theological Consortium, as a significant investment in the deep partnership of international scholars and scholarship that will perpetually benefit all who are involved with this global vision.
