Additional Information:
The Board of Commissioners has approved Lancaster Theological Seminary's request for a change in ownership and governing control, whereby management and control will transfer to Moravian University (anticipated: July 30, 2021) while the seminary continues as a degree-granting entity until late 2022 (or early 2023). The Board required a follow-up report by September 1, 2021, and authorized a focused visit within six months (i.e., anticipated by January 2022) of this change in ownership and governing control, per Policies and Procedures, IV.C.
