Mahle Scholars for Progressive Christian Thought
Application Extended
The Mahle Scholars Program invites undergraduate students to explore the connections between the calling of vocation; the values of spirituality, service and social justice; and in particular—progressive Christian thought. Thus, Mahle Scholars will seek out the vitality, relevancy and dynamic character of progressive Christian faith, as it can be hopefully re-imagined and practiced anew in our contemporary global context. The Mahle Scholars meet weekly during the fall and spring semesters and will work with the visiting Scholar in Residence during the spring semester.
