A Summer Message of Rest & Renewal from President Pomerville

As we welcome new students to our Seminary community this fall, including those taking most of their classes remotely, we are excited to announce a new initiative to foster community and learning. The faculty of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary has developed a unique course that will bring together all students across various degree programs and learning modalities for an annual in-person experience.

Introducing the 2024 LPTS Mosaic Symposium! This new venture will take place on September 4-5, 2024, from breakfast through dinner each day, on the Seminary campus. The course, titled Mosaic Symposium: Faith in Action for Fall 2024, is a 1-credit, two-day intensive program designed to provide embodied, communal, and artistic experiences alongside multidisciplinary theological reflection.

Participants will enjoy shared meals, classroom sessions with multiple LPTS faculty, hands-on activities, mosaic making, Convocation, and a field trip to engage with local alumni who are actively putting their faith into action. Additionally, this year's symposium will coincide with the Presidential Inauguration on Friday, September 6, offering a rich thematic and temporal intersection.

We look forward to this new opportunity for community-building, fellowship, and learning, and we can't wait to see you there!

Key Dates to Remember:

  • Orientation for New Students: September 3
  • 2024 LPTS Mosaic Symposium: September 4-5
  • Fall Convocation of the 171st Academic Year: September 5
  • Presidential Inauguration: September 6
  • Fall Semester Begins: September 9

We look forward to the entire campus community coming together in this exciting kickoff to the new academic year! Watch for more details coming soon!
