Today Sunday May 18 is designated Seminary Sunday by the Diocese of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic of the Reformed Episcopal Church. Many churches in other dioceses and jurisdictions as well as the churches of our students, alumni, faculty and friends outside the Reformed Episcopal Church observe Seminary Sunday once or twice a year. Please pray for our Seminary and the important mission to which it has been called. O Almighty God, who has taught us that thy Word is a lantern unto our feet and a light unto our path; grant that we, with all who devoutly read the Holy Scriptures, may realize our fellowship one with another in thee; and may learn thereby to know thee more fully, to love thee more truly, and to follow more faithfully in the steps of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God blessed for evermore. O God, who through thy Holy Spirit dost illuminate the minds and sanctify the lives of those whom thou dost call to the work of pastors and teachers; Look with favor upon all schools for the instruction and discipline of those who are to serve in the sacred ministry of thy Church. Bless those who teach and those who learn, that they may apply themselves with such diligence to the knowledge which is able to make men wise unto salvation, and submit themselves with such ready obedience to the law of thy Son our Saviour, that they may fulfill their ministry with joy; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
