Curriculum: Two residential members of the faculty, one in Ethics and the other is Pastoral Care and Leadership, teach courses on economic justice and globalization with attention to the ecological dimensions. Dieter Hessel (adjunct) has taught a 3-credit (full semester) course on ecological ethics, theology, and ministry fall 2007. Another adjunct faculty member, Kim Raikes, has also taught several courses on ecology, ecological theology and ministry, and the greening of congregations.

Education: Larry Rasmussen has been a speaker for a public lecture on eco-justice themes.

Building and Grounds: Bangor Theological Seminary has sold its historic campus and now resides in leased space, in which we do recycling.

Personal Discipleship: Use coffee mugs in lieu of paper; compact lightbulbs.

Public Ministry/political advocacy: BTS students have done internships with the Maine Council of Churches and focused on eco-justice concerns and sustainable agriculture/CSA’s in Maine.

Other: We’re at the very beginning of the process of transformation – and would appreciate resources, especially in terms of revising seminary policies and greening the curriculum.
