We are firmly and unapologetically rooted in the traditions of biblical faith and of the Social Gospel;
We are committed to justice, to prophetic witness, and to fostering diversity and hospitality in the divinity school, in the churches, and in societies;
We affirm the distinct traditions of the 19th-century evangelical revival, and the abolition and suffrage movements of western New York for the sake of a life-giving future for all God's people;
We affirm the integrity of faith and intellectual inquiry, and seek to prepare women and men for Christian ministry that is pastoral, prophetic and learned, and that welcomes interfaith dialogue;
We choose to live and work in ways that are interdisciplinary, as we creatively, critically, and collegially engage one another, the churches, the academy, and the world.
