Anglican, Global, & Ecumenical Studies (AGE) promotes awareness of and engagement with the realities of contemporary global Christianity. AGE reshapes Christian witness and theologies of mission in light of contextualization, post-colonialism, ecumenism, and inter-religious dialogue. The commitment to celebrate the diversity of today's Anglican Communion and to take seriously the theological concerns of the worldwide Christian community is foundational to AGE. Numerous opportunities for international and cross-cultural study are facilitated through AGE, including: international placements in cooperation with the Field Education Program; travel seminars led by EDS and the Boston Theological Institute (BTI) in January and May of each year; the Certificate in International Mission and Ecumenism Program of the BTI; and Seminarian World Mission Seminars at the Overseas Ministries Study Center in New Haven, Connecticut. Through AGE, EDS faculty members participate actively in the Seminary Consultation on Mission, a collaborative venture formed by the accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church to strengthen educational resources for international mission.

Congregational Studies (CSt) gives students the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary study to gain greater insight into the dynamics of communities of faith and religious leadership. The overall goal is to equip students for lay and ordained leadership roles within communal contexts engaged in the struggle for justice, compassion, and reconciliation. Throughout the curriculum, students are challenged to grow in their knowledge of organizational development, cultural competence, anti-oppression methodologies, transformational leadership, and ministries with persons throughout the life cycle, as well as in their ability to think critically about the needs of congregations in a variety of contexts.

Feminist Liberation Theologies (FLT) furnishes students with critical tools to examine and confront interlocking forms of oppression, such as sexism, racism, classism, and heterosexism, in today's world. FLT begins its theological endeavors with the experiences of marginalized peoples and their struggles for liberation, especially women and their communities. In every aspect of the students' educational and ministerial formation, FLT invites them to reflect theologically on these struggles, analyze the systemic and cultural sources of conflict that give rise to them, and create new opportunities for social transformation and change. FLT integrates rigorous academic work, praxis, thoughtful reflection, and collaboration between students and faculty to provide students with the leadership necessary to pursue their work in today's society and church.
