Please join the community of Seminary of the Southwest on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 6:30pm for the installation of Dr. Scott Bader-Saye as the Ninth Dean and President of Seminary of the Southwest.
The Installation service will be held at The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Austin, Texas. The Most Rev. Michael Curry will preach. Since 2015, Bishop Curry served as the Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, remaining in that role until the investiture of the Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe as Presiding Bishop on November 2, 2024.
Dr. Bader-Saye was unanimously elected by the Southwest Board of Trustees this past May and has been serving in the role since July 1, 2024. Dr. Bader-Saye joined the faculty of Seminary of the Southwest as the Helen and Everett H. Jones Chair in Christian Ethics and Moral Theology in 2009 and was named academic dean in 2013. As academic dean, Dr. Bader-Saye led the faculty and student community through significant periods of growth and a rise in prominence in the academic and pedagogical impacts of Seminary of the Southwest. He was instrumental in the development and growth of Southwest’s popular Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and in guiding the faculty through the necessary curricular partnership required with the implementation of Southwest’s now highly successful Iona Collaborative. He also led the faculty through the innovative and timely revisions to the seminary’s Master of Divinity curriculum.
The installation service will be livestreamed to ssw.edu and Southwest’s Facebook page.
