The Rev. Dr. Horace Underwood Project
The Underwood Project New Brunswick Theological Seminary has nurtured and valued a close relationship with Korean churches and educational institutions since 1985. Because of its unique bond with Korea, the seminary established the Underwood Project in 2001. The Underwood Project’s mission is to strengthen relationships between the seminary and educational institutions and churches in Korea and Korean-American churches in the United States, and, in the spirit of Dr. Underwood, to promote pedagogical and ministerial discussions on the seminary’s commitment to cross-cultural and global education.
The Underwood International Symposium The first annual Underwood International Symposium was held in Korea in March 2008. Fuller Theological Seminary president Dr. Richard Mouw delived the keynote address. The symposium was co-sponsored by Saemoonan Church, the first church established by Dr. Underwood. Yonsei University and Presbyterian Theological College and Seminary also supported the conference. Summer Mission to New Brunswick The Underwood Project will host 30 young adults from Korean churches at a two-week summer mission at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. The students will take several courses including English as a Second Language (ESL), Faith and Public Life, Faith and Culture, and World Religions. The program will include a tour of Underwood sites, such as Dr. Underwood’s home church, Grover Reformed Church in New Jersey, and inter-religious and inter-cultural sites in New York, and American historical sites in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The Underwood Scholarship The seminary seeks $250,000 to establish a scholarship for a Korean or Korean-American student preparing for ministry at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. The scholarship, restricted to Korean-Americans, includes full time tuition, books and fees. The recipient will be known as The Rev. Dr. Horace G. Underwood Scholar. The Underwood Memorial The seminary will commission a sculptor to create a bust of Dr. Underwood to be placed in perpetuity in Gardner A. Sage Library. Dr. Underwood spent many hours in Sage Library preparing for ministry. The seminary seeks restricted gifts for this purpose. Promotional DVD Thanks to the generosity of The Rev. Bong Ki Huh, pastor of Praise Presbyterian Church in Somerset, New Jersey, the seminary will produce a promotional DVD that highlights The Rev. Dr. Horace G. Underwood, the Underwood Project, and its important initiatives. Your Participation You may participate in this project through your giving to New Brunswick Theological Seminary.
