Each January Western Seminary's middler students are immersed in another culture as an important part of their learning experience.  During this J-Term groups are in Israel, the Borderlands (the border between Mexico and Arizona), and Oman. Other years groups have traveled to places such as Hungary, Kenya, and Chiapas, Mexico.

To read about experiences students are having in Oman, read their blog.

When the nation of Israel crossed over the Jordan river, the Lord instructed Joshua to construct a stone memorial to commemorate the entrance of God’s people into the promised land. The stones were to be a sign of God’s gracious leading.

Western Theological Seminary has a new stone memorial on our campus as a sign commemorating the conclusion of the learning journey of six Journey Groups.

November 11-14, 2007 was the occasion of a Journey “Showcase Conference” in which all six Journey Groups (Lilly Endowment funded Sustaining Pastoral Excellence grant) gathered together to share their learning projects, to celebrate community, and to bring closure to their years of learning together.
