""The history of Bexley Seabury, like that of all Episcopal Seminaries--and indeed the Episcopal Church--is fraught with white supremacy, heteronormativity, and gender inequality. As one-time Dean of Bexley Hall, and longtime faculty member at Bexley Seabury, Tom Ferguson is in a unique position to tell that story across the 200-year history of Bexley Seabury and its predecessor institutions with authenticity and grace. Ferguson offers a fascinating and sometimes brutally honest telling of the ways in which the ever-present changes in the church, higher education, and the United States of America have made Bexley Seabury the important player in seminary education that it is today."" --Steve Pankey, Vice President, House of Deputies of The Episcopal Church ""This book illuminates the history of the Episcopal Church and education for ministry through the complex and intertwined history of what is now the Bexley Seabury Seminary Federation. Ferguson shows that what has transpired in the history of Episcopal seminaries are not isolated events but ways of interpreting how the Episcopal Church has never been a static institution. Its history reveals a continual state of development, discernment, and experimentation."" --Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, Director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, Boston College
