The Plowshare Institute was a program for which Union was chosen to be one of twelve participating seminaries for a five-year project. The plan was to cluster three or four dissimilar theological schools and form teams of people to go on three-week travel seminars together, then to return and to try to use this experience to help evaluate education at their schools. The immersion seminars went to India, Brazil, southern Africa, and local areas of New York City.
