James Emerson named interim president
of San Francisco Seminary
by Jerry L. Van Marter, PNS
30-August-2000
The Board of Trustees of San Francisco Theological
Seminary (SFTS) has announced its appointment of the Rev. James G.
Emerson Jr. as interim president, effective Sept. 1.
Emerson, a graduate of Stanford University and
Princeton Theological Seminary, has been actively involved in the life
of SFTS over the years. He has been a member of the boards of trustees
of both the seminary and the Graduate Theological Union in nearby
Berkeley, Calif. He and his wife, Margaret, have co-chaired the Advisory
Board for the Lloyd Center Pastoral Counseling Service at the seminary.
After he retired as pastor of Calvary Presbyterian
Church in San Francisco in 1990, the Emersons served as volunteers in
mission for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), preaching and teaching in
Taiwan, India, China, Korea and the United States. In 1995 they served
as visiting professors of mission and evangelism at SFTS.
Emerson assumes the presidency in the wake of a sexual
misconduct scandal that cost former SFTS president the Rev. Don
McCullough his job in May.
