Program Description
The HSP Exchange is an annual program with virtual monthly events centering theological knowledge and dialogue that is free and open to the public. Historically, the HSP Exchange events have been lectures given by Summer Session faculty. As of 2025, the HSP Exchange follows an annual theme relevant to theological education.
2026 Program Description
In the United States, dominant institutions of formal graduate theological education have been historically Christian. Yet, the reality of Hispanic/Latine religious expression has always been multi-religious with Latines who are Muslim, Santeros, Curanderos, Humanists, Jewish, Buddhist, and even Christians who themselves practice multiple traditions. To engage the Hispanic/Latine reality within theological education is, then, to engage religion, generally, and Christianity, specifically, through multiple vantage points. This Semester’s HSP Exchange Series explores this question head on by inviting non-Christian Hispanic/Latine faith leaders into dialogue with the Executive Director of the HSP—an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)—to explore the implications of Hispanic/Latine multi-religious realities for graduate theological education, and therein the world.
