CTS is a leader in transformative religious studies. Our mission is to educate and inspire the next generation of religious leadership. Justice lives here.
As a historically Protestant and now multifaith seminary, our vision is to build the beloved community together. To work toward this reality, we are guided by a series of intersected ethical and spiritual commitments. At the front of this list are our commitments to racial and social justice, to gender equality and LGBTQ rights, and to deep interreligious engagement.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak. As we celebrate with Muslim communities around the world, we reflect on the meaning of faith, sacrifice, compassion, and care for one another that this sacred season invites.
This year, we also hold grief alongside celebration, mourning with the Islamic Center of San Diego and Muslim communities impacted by recent hateful violence. In the face of fear and loss, we reaffirm our commitment to solidarity, dignity, and the shared work of resisting hatred in all its forms.
May this season deepen our care for one another and strengthen our pursuit of justice and peace.
