A Proud Heritage ... A New Beginning
Over the course of its history the School of Theology for the Laity is pleased to have offered 204 courses and seminars as well as eight lectures on Christian Unity. During this time outstanding scholars and teachers from throughout the country have presented the fruits of their scholarship and their passion for teaching to those seeking to grow in their faith and understanding.

The 30th series marks a new beginning for the School. In response to the generosity of STL’s Dean, Joe Stalcup, and his wife, Nancy Vaughn Stalcup, and the gifts of others who share their commitment to theological education, the Brite Divinity School Board of Trustees voted to take responsibility for the continuation and eventual expansion of the program. In addition, the Board voted to name the school the Stalcup School of Theology for the Laity.

Because of gifts to the program, Brite has established an endowment that will enable
the School to employ a Director of Lay and Continuing Education and to enhance
its mission of serving the church. Our hope is that as current pledges are paid and
additional gifts are received the program will grow beyond course offerings in the
Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and make theological education available to churches
across the Southwest.
