Creating a New Seminary
ANNUAL REPORT: F I SCAL YEAR 2015 - 2016
2
센트럴 신학대학원의 신실한 친구들에게,지난 몇 달간은 캠퍼스 증축 공사가 활발하게 진행되었습니다. 공간을 확장하고 강의실을 리모델링하면서 센트럴이 보다 글로벌하게 연결된 배움의 장소가 되는 비전을 꿈꾸게 되었습니다. 학생들은 이 곳 샤니 캠퍼스에서 수업에 직접 참여할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 전세계 어디서나 수업이나 도서관 서비스에 접근할 수 있게 될 것입니다.
지난 해 우리는 “마음을 일구고, 지성을 인도하며, 성령의 감동을 통한 창조적 리더십을 개발한다”는 비전을 위해 집중적으로 노력해 왔습니다. 우리는 사역 현장의 리더들은 긍휼히 여기며 공감할 줄 아는 마음이 필요하다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 그들은 사역수행능력으로 전환될 수 있는 지적으로도 충분한 지성 또한 필요합니다. 그리고 그들은 하나님의 통치 안에서 섬기기 위해 지속적으로 성령을 감동시킬 수 있는 영적인 토대도 필요로 하고 있습니다.
이번 달 Voice는 연간 보고서를 담고 있습니다. 정례대로 우리는 감사와 기념물 (tributes and memorials)을 포함한 헌신된 기부자들의 명단 등을 싣게 됩니다. 또한 우리는 지난 한 해를 도표를 통해 살펴보게 될 것인데, 여기에는 우리가 한 해 동안 신대원의 사명을 위해 힘을 쏟았던 부분들과 기억할만한 이벤트들도 포함되어 있습니다. 여러분은 여러 가지 영역들을 통해서 센트럴이 지금 “새로운 신학대학원을 세우고” (Creating a New Seminary) 있다는 것을 보시게 될 것입니다.
하나님은 기독교 사역을 새롭게 표현할 수 있도록 배우고 익히는 이들을 준비시키는 리더로서 센트럴 신학대학원을 부르고 계십니다. 여기서 공부한 많은 이들 중 어떤 이들은 신학적인 이해와 함께 그들의 현재 직업들을 섬김을 위한 통로로서 활용하게 될 것이고, 어떤 이들은 하나님의 임재를 그들의 공동체들 속에서 실현함으로 그리스도의 손과 발이 되어 섬기는 교회의 선교적 표현을 (missional expressions) 향해 회중을 이끌게 될 것입니다. 그리고 어떤 이들은 혜택받지 못하는 사람들 속에서 그들의 신앙을 혁신적으로 살아냄으로써 새로운 형태의 참여를 일구어 갈 것입니다. 교회가 문화적으로 더 소외되는 이 때에 성령은 새로운 형태로 하나님을 예배하는 공동체들을 부르고 계십니다.
여러분은 이러한 창조적인 사역의 핵심입니다. 여러분의 기도와 물질적 후원이 없이는 센트럴의 교수진과 학생들은 이러한 하나님의 긴급한 부르심에 응답하기 어려울 것입니다. 센트럴 신학대학원을 통해서 행해지는 거룩한 사역에 대한 여러분의 관심에 감사 드립니다.
신실하신 그리스도 안에서,
Molly T. Marshall
총장 겸 신학 & 영성 개발 교수
Dear Faithful Friend of Central,These past few months have witnessed a flurry of construction on the campus. As we have been adding space and updating classrooms, we have envisioned becoming a more globally connected place of learning. In addition to serving those who attend class here in Shawnee, students will be able to access instruction and library services from around the world.
Over the past year this theme has focused our work: Developing Creative Leadership through Forming the Heart, Guiding the Mind, and Inspiring the Spirit. We know that leaders in ministry need compassionate and empathetic hearts; they also need minds full of knowledge that they can translate to ministry competencies; and they need the kind of spiritual grounding that keeps inspiring the spirit for service in God’s Reign.
This issue of the Voice will take the form of an annual report. As usual, we will list our faithful donors and their levels of giving, including tributes and memorials. In addition, we will offer a pictorial review of the year with highlights of the elements of our mission to which we have given energy over the year and the many memorable events in the ongoing narrative of the seminary. What you will see is the many ways in which we are in the midst of Creating a New Seminary.
God is calling our school to be a leader in preparing learners for new expressions of Christian ministry. Many who study here will make their existing professions a channel for theologically informed service; others will lead congregations toward missional expressions of serving as the hands and feet of Christ, embodying his presence in their communities. And still others will create new forms of engagement with underserved populations, living out their faith innovatively. In a time when the church is more marginalized culturally, the Spirit is calling for new shapes of worshipping communities.
You are a central part of this creative work. Without your support in prayer and resources, faculty and students could not respond to this urgent call from God. I am ever grateful for your care for the holy work being done through Central Seminary.
Faithfully yours,
Molly T. Marshall President and Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation

This 2015-2016 Annual Report edition of The Voice is formatted completely differently than any annual report we have designed in recent years. The design reflects the nature of theological education today, especially with regard to the use of technology. You will notice there are several QR codes on the pages ahead which will take you to fuller articles on our website. With your smart phone and a QR code scanner app, you can scan the codes to go directly to the articles about each of our three highlighted students in the picture above, as well as about one of the students in our Korean programs. You can also scan codes to read articles regarding the major work that has gone into revising the curriculum for Central’s degree programs. The issue and articles are also available by going directly to www.cbts.edu where you will find a slide labeled Creating a New Seminary: 2015-2016 Annual Report to which they are linked. We hope you enjoy the pictures featured throughout the issue and that you find the charts with information about our programs and financial resources of interest. We especially want to highlight all of those who have given to help create a new seminary – one that will continue to be a resource for our churches and will be an agent of transformation in our evolving world.
The Nature of Theological Education Today
Nathan Marsh, Andy Oh, and Jordan Milan demonstrate how students interact with the Zoom technology used in classes. See more about these three students in the pages ahead.

Forming the Heart
“I am a part of the Women's Leadership Initiative and became
so through much doubt, uncertainty, and determination. Being
a part of this process has taught me that I have to trust that
God will be in charge of the details and reveal them to me
when I need to know them. I don't know what will come of it,
but I know that it will be enriching, challenging and will help
me grow – everything that I prayed to God that I wanted.”
—Jordan Milan, MDiv student in the Women’s Leadership Initiative at CENTRAL Tennessee

Here she works with children who come to the Center after school just as she had herself.

“Central says ‘come let us reason together’ and is a place where
people are not afraid of questions, of open discussion, and of
scholarly pursuit. As people of faith, it is our call too, and we
feel honored and privileged to join in this creative unique work
to which Central is committed. With the influence of Central
graduates and faculty around the world, maybe someday that
kind of creative, inclusive work won’t be so unique.” —Jackie Moore Baugh, Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation
The Central Seminary Community invites you to join us as we celebrate Central’s Cloud of Witnesses, Thursday, November 10, 2016 — 7:00 - 8:15 p.m. with a reception following. We will gather in the Baugh-Marshall Chapel, then move around the campus as we dedicate our newly constructed and remodeled spaces and celebrate those who honor and support our mission of preparing women and men for seeking God, shaping church, and serving humanity.

8Bo Lay, one of the Burmese students in the FOUNDATIONS Judson Communities class in Oakland, California.
“The Doctor of Ministry program through Central Baptist Theological Seminary has made a significant impact in my ministry. I started the program as a local church pastor and will end as an Associate Executive Minister. At both stages in ministry, the D.Min has given me improved tools and resources, increased learning experiences, and a tremendous support network I would not have otherwise. When other seminaries are struggling to survive, Central continues to thrive by making the necessary adjustments to assist, resource and equip students to engage a new paradigm in ministry.”

“I like to consider Central Seminary’s revised Master of Divinity
curriculum with an image drawn from the arts. The
curriculum provides a palette of new and innovative courses
that students use as they creatively paint upon the canvas
of their vocations.”

“As I look back on my journey, I can see that God has been
leading me the whole time. When my plans failed, God led
me closer to Him. Finally, God has led me to Central. It gives
me comfort to realize that God is in charge, and I am enjoying
the journey.”

"Through my ministry with the homeless I realized what God
truly wants from our worship. I believe that the genuine
revival of worship will begin when we serve and love the
marginalized and poor as Jesus did."
"나는 이번 홈리스 사역을 통해 하나님께서 원하시는 예배가 무엇인지 확실히
알게 되었다.... 진정한 예배 회복은 소외되고 가난한 자들을 예수님처럼 섬기고
사랑하는데에서부터 시작된다고 믿는다"

Our students represent a diverse community of women and men, learning in locations all over the US.
We educate almost an equal number of women and men in five different programs. These students represent a wonderful diversity of racial/ethnic communities.
