The 2025–2026 IPEJI cohort is made up of seminary students from Union Theological Seminary, Drew University and the Methodist Theological School in Ohio. These fellows represent a broad range of Christian traditions and reflect a rich diversity of cultural and national backgrounds. Throughout the fellowship year, fellows engage in theological study, homiletical formation and practical learning experiences shaped by faculty from all three seminaries and the Center for Earth Ethics. Working at the intersection of eco-justice and pastoral leadership, the fellows are deepening their commitments to preaching and guiding congregations toward deeper awareness, courageous action, and hope rooted in Christian witness in the face of the ongoing ecological challenges of our time.
