Come, come, whoever you are… wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. Ours is no caravan of despair. Even if you’ve broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come.Rumi
Starr King School for the Ministry trains and works in a culture of countering oppressions and is open to applicants without regard to ethnic or national origin, creed, sex, gender (or gender presentation), sexual orientation, disability, or other historically marginalizing factors. Applications for admissions must furnish evidence of good character, and of sufficient academic preparation and ability to do the work required.
Welcome to Starr King School for the Ministry–a flagship of prophetic Unitarian Universalist and multireligious divinity education for over a century! Located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, we are a member of the Graduate Theological Union and an affiliate of the University of California at Berkeley. Our distinguished graduates can be found all over the globe, at the forefront of movements for progressive religious witness and social change.
Are you called to the life of spirit, sacrifice, and service? Do you seek a spiritual formation and professional education process that is personalized and yet global in scope? Are you committed to walking the paths of justice, mercy, humility, and compassion? If you answered “Yes!” to these questions, Starr King may be the place for you to begin composing the next chapter of your life. The world is in need of your gifts. Have you discovered them? Are you prepared to offer them?
We look forward to exploring your call to spiritual leadership and envisioning the many ways in which a Starr King education can allow you to live out that calling in our hurting world.
