Annually, seminarians from fifteen diverse religious graduate institutions in Texas are invited to participate in this inter-religious, week-long retreat. The themes and discussions are led by representatives of various religions, including faculty from seminaries and clergy from churches and synagogues in Texas. The goal is to help prepare outstanding seminarians for their future roles as religious leaders in an interfaith and multicultural society.
Invited seminaries and theological schools who are current in their COST: Council of Southwest Theological Schools membership are eligible for participation in the SOFT program. Staff members of participating seminaries will provide more information to students who are interested in attending SOFT.
