Engaged Organizations: Trinity Lutheran Seminary

Description

Trinity Lutheran Seminary participates in the Green Seminary Initiative. In addition to their larger mission (as stated on their website at https://www.capital.edu/trinity-lutheran-seminary-at-capital-university/), the GSI website describes their environmental efforts:

"Located in Columbus, OH, and a seminary in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Trinity has engaged in a number of steps required in the certification process, including an energy audit, updating the seminary’s HVAC system, tracking campus energy use, and enhancing recycling efforts. The student group SEEDS held a retreat in April at Lutheran Memorial Camp and students have participated in a Faith Climate Action Rally at the Ohio Statehouse. In addition, Trinity students have been active in cleaning up the Alum Creek watershed that borders the seminary property. The school has cultivated a garden, and students, faculty, and staff held a worship service to bless it. The school engages with the natural landscape surrounding the campus through hikes and excursions."

Trinity Lutheran Seminary strives to infuse care of the earth into all aspects of theological education.
