This is stunning and visionary. I hope and pray with you that the seminary will enter into earnest consideration of the justice-making plan you have proposed.

I believe this is wise advice for the seminary. To embody Christian witness that proclaims the resurrection in the midst of injustice, to use Presbyterian resources to lift of the voices of black leaders of Christian faith, and to equip all its seminarians to receive the diversity of the Body of Christ as the Holy Spirit's difinitive rejection of white supremacy, Princeton Theological Seminary must take this proposal seriously.

By so doing, my beloved seminary would take a bold step in paving the way for other institutions to follow.

This is absolutely the right thing to do, and is actually a modest demand. This has the full support of Church of All Nations & Underground Seminary, Minneapolis, MN.

I'm concerned if the background checks affects the admission. The race and crime plays a role here.

I support this 100%. As a white alumn from 2004, I witnessed the lingering sins of bigotry and systemic racism directed at my brothers and sisters in Christ- from the then President of the Seminary on down to prospective students touring campus. This would be a small act of repentance and is long overdue.

Any wealth that has been gained through unjust means has to be returned to those from whom it was taken. Healing will come from it.
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

This is fair and just.
