“Shortsightedness in strategic thinking is common in theological schools. Either a climate of scarcity keeps the challenge of the annual budget at the forefront of decision making, or a climate of complacency and contentment keeps schools from asking the deeper questions about appropriateness of their mission or their use of money.”

–Chris Meinzer,
Chief Operating Officer, Association for Theological Schools, from In Trust (Autumn 2019)
