Yale Divinity School is the site of a new project aimed at accelerating innovation in young adult ministry and connecting congregations with emerging adults who are spiritual but unchurched.

Closed campuses, canceled seminars, delayed guest lectures, and postponed special events the pandemic has scuttled higher education plans by the thousands. But sometimes, those cast-off plans have led to new, even stronger strategies and dramatic new beginnings.
That’s the case with the Divinity School’s Center for Continuing Education, which was a toddling six months old when the coronavirus caused international shutdowns in March 2020.
The new Center’s main goal was to reach beyond the walls of the school and into the New Haven-area community with offerings of on-campus lectures, courses of study, and singular events all for free and mostly in person.
