SAN ANSELMO, Calif. - San Francisco Theological Seminary is one of 40 
theological schools to receive a $10,000 planning grant from the 
Indianapolis-bassed Lilly Endowment, Inc., to be part of a national 
initiative to train faculty and staff in the use of technological 
resources.  "Our most urgent challenge is to education leaders who possess 
the creativity to adapt the expand the arts of ministry," said Seminary 
President the Rev. Donald W. McCullough.  "Information technologies have 
already infiltrated everyday life, spirituality, and popular culture in the 
communities our graduates serve.  Electronic media will help us better 
adapt our curriculum and our dialogical styles of teaching and learning to 
the changing demands of pastoral formation."  The project team is directed 
by Gussie Manigluck, the seminary's systems and network administrator, and 
convened by Christopher Ocker, associate professor of church history.
