Gordon-Conwell has deep roots. Although we are celebrating 50 years during this school year (beginning this week), the year 1969 is more of a date about a “restart” or “reboot” of the seminary.

Evangelicalism, from the beginning, broke down walls (Ephesians 2:14).
Words only have meaning in context. Words also miscommunicate because of one’s inattentiveness to context. What about the word ‘Evangelical’?
As Gordon-Conwell begins to celebrate its 50 years of training pastors, missionaries and counselors, I want to reflect back on our beginning as a strong outpost of evangelicalism in New England.
