Located in the heart of New York
The General Theological Seminary is a community formed around a common life of learning, worship, service and hospitality.
The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D., has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2027–28 academic year, concluding 21 years of transformative leadership as Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary and six years as President of The General Theological Seminary.
The Boards of Trustees of VTS and GTS are undertaking an international search to find the next Dean and President of the two affiliated seminaries. The process, which will include extensive engagement with stakeholders across both institutions and the wider Episcopal Church, is expected to run until the summer or fall of 2027, with the new Dean and President assuming office in July 2028.
