Minister In Residence Sought 

October 24, 2007

Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago is seeking applicants for Ministers in Residence for the 2008-09 academic year.  There are two programs for which one may apply:

John Lester Young Minister in Residence

John Young Fellows will teach one class, study in any of Meadville Lombard course offerings (tuition free), and provide a professional and pastoral presence to Meadville Lombard students for one academic term.  The successful applicant will receive the use of a one-bedroom apartment on the ML campus, an honorarium for teaching one course as a member of our adjunct faculty and an expense allowance.  Applicants for the winter quarter are preferred, but all who wish to apply for any quarter (fall, winter or spring) are encouraged to make a submission. Likewise, preferred applicants will provide a course description that links academic subject matter to ministerial practice. Courses may be offered in a ten week (one quarter) or in a one-week, intensive format.

Applicants are requested to submit a letter of interest, a course proposal and a resume to Dr. Sharon Welch. Application Deadline is January 30, 2008. 

Meadville Lombard Minister in Residence

In residence on our Chicago campus for one academic quarter, Meadville Lombard MIRs participate in different aspects of ML community life and serve as an informal chaplain to students. MIRs are able to enroll in ML classes (tuition free), use the School’s library, and cultivate insight into the ministerial role of teacher/scholar. This is an ideal opportunity for newly-retired ministers and those on sabbatical, but all interested ministers are encouraged to apply. The position is open for the fall, winter, and spring terms. Applicants are requested to submit a letter of interest and a resume to Dr. Lee Barker.  Application deadline is March 1, 2008.
