"No parish congregation meets as a whole. Nonetheless, all members of the congregation have gifts to offer the whole. Similarly,
each of the Bay Area seminaries has gifts to offer the community of the whole. The scandal of division has made for missed
opportunities within the community -- ideas, events, speakers, worship services. This offering is the offering of a vehicle
to promote the unity of the community of the whole of the Bay Area seminaries." From the Editorial Statement in the first
issue.
