The General Theological Seminary in Manhattan, New York City, is the oldest seminary of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA). It is located at 175 9th Avenue.

Also known as GTS, the General Theological Seminary was founded in 1817. Its construction was supported by donations from parishioners at the Trinity Church and the Church of St Luke-in-the-Fields.

This is where students are trained for the Episcopal priesthood. Within the grounds of the seminary is the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, completed in 1888. It has a set of 15 tubular bells which are the oldest existing in the country still used to call the community to worship. The General Theological Seminary follows a moderate-to-liberal cause on issues of morality and theology, as espoused by the ECUSA.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
