Conversation between Islands: A Seminarian Interchange Program between Cuba and Puerto Rico

The proposed program between Puerto Rico and Cuba aims to further strengthen the formal relationship between the respective seminaries. The project is a first phase in a three-phase institutional effort, which begins with a student exchange, followed by a faculty exchange, and ultimately, the development of an agreement to create and promote joint contextual academic programs. Seminario Evangélico’s program will emphasize collaboration between students and institutions, address the language barrier present in the Caribbean, promote nontraditional models of theological education, and encourage diversity and inclusion in theological and biblical approaches while taking into account the Cuban and Puerto Rican contexts.
