Berkeley Divinity School at Yale in search for new Dean

From RNS-

Berkeley Divinity School (BDS), the Episcopal affiliate of Yale Divinity School (YDS), announced that Berkeley is in search for a successor to current President and Dean The Very Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Britton.  BDS is accepting inquiries and applications until 10/31/13.  The position will be available 7/1/14.

The search committee is led by BDS Trustee The Rev. Stephen Carlsen with the close support of YDS Dean Gregory E. Sterling.  In developing a position profile, the committee was guided by Berkeley’s “working vision” and an analysis of today’s changing church and congregations.

The position profile and information about Berkeley are on the web at berkeleydivinity .net.  Inquiries and applications (to include a c.v. and any other supporting information) should be emailed to BDSdeansearch@gmail.com and will be held in strict confidence.

The position carries two titles:  President and Dean of Berkeley and Associate Dean of Yale Divinity School.  Rev. Carlsen comments: “We believe this represents an extraordinary ‘both/and’ leadership opportunity.  Both to lead a highly respected Episcopal divinity school, and to be part of the leadership of YDS with superb academic resources, global reach and reputation within a world-class research university.”
