Pasadena : New Head of Seminary
Fuller Theological Seminary’s new president will be inaugurated Nov. 8, in one of several leadership changes at what officials call the world’s largest nondenominational seminary.
Richard J. Mouw, a Fuller professor of Christian philosophy and ethics, will take over the seminary’s presidency from David Allen Hubbard, 65, who retired July 1. Hubbard had served as president for 30 years.
Mouw, the author of nine books, has a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Alberta, Canada, and a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Chicago.
Mouw, 53, previously was the seminary’s provost and senior vice president. The new provost is Robert K. Johnston, who previously was provost and dean at North Park College and Theological Seminary in Illinois. Johnston, 48, had served as an assistant to the president at Fuller from 1969-1979, while he was a student at the seminary.
