“The All Faiths Seminary International Master’s & Doctoral programs were an intensive immersion into spiritual inquiry that began with the interfaith minister’s program. Unlike any other, the graduate program offered a unique style of learning that allowed me to explore spiritual topics that really mattered to me in an experiential way. I feel blessed to have written and defended a timely dissertation on ‘Crisis as a catalyst for socio-spiritual transformation’. The program reflects Rabbi Gelberman and the faculty’s commitment to training diverse leaders to bring love, light, wisdom, and compassion into today’s world.”

— Rev. Dr. Karen Chambers
