Theological Community of Mexico (CTdeM)

Comunidad Teológica de México (CTdeM)

The Theological Community of Mexico (CTdeM) is an ecumenical consortium of seminaries and theological schools based in Mexico City, established in 1964 with a forward-looking mission to shape theological education from a collaborative and interdenominational base. At its core, CTdeM brings together institutions representing different traditions—Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, and associated nonprofit partners—to provide biblically grounded, theologically rich, pastorally relevant, and culturally engaged formation for church leaders and laity across Mexico and Latin America. The institution emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, intercultural sensitivity, and critical reflection on social realities: students are encouraged to interrogate issues of justice, rights, violence, and pastoral care within the Mexican context, and to develop ministry responses that are both faithful and transformative. CTdeM offers diplomas, undergraduate degrees, and master’s programmes in theological studies, pastoral ministry, liturgical arts, and the liberal arts, aiming to equip graduates not only for ministry within churches but also for public witness, social critique, and creative service. A notable dimension of its work is its commitment to contextual theology, which reads Scripture and Christian tradition in dialogue with Mexican culture, economics, and politics. Through its emphasis on correlated formation—linking academic rigour, community engagement, and spiritual formation—CTdeM positions itself as a hub for ecumenical theological leadership. As Mexico continues to face shifting religious landscapes, migration, violence, inequality, and religious pluralism, the Theological Community of Mexico remains a vital institution, preparing church leaders to navigate complexity, embody unity, and engage society with depth and integrity.

Comunidad Teológica de México (CTdeM)

La Comunidad Teológica de México (CTdeM) es un consorcio ecuménico de seminarios y escuelas teológicas ubicado en la Ciudad de México, fundado en 1964 con la visión de impulsar una educación teológica desde una base interdenominacional y colaborativa. En su estructura confluyen instituciones que representan distintas tradiciones —luterana, bautista, anglicana, metodista, presbiteriana y entidades sin fines de lucro asociadas— para ofrecer una formación bíblica, teológica, pastoral y culturalmente comprometida a líderes eclesiales y laicos de México y América Latina. CTdeM enfatiza el aprendizaje interdisciplinario, la sensibilidad intercultural y la reflexión crítica sobre realidades sociales: se invita a los estudiantes a explorar los temas de la justicia, los derechos, la violencia y el cuidado pastoral dentro del contexto mexicano, y a desarrollar respuestas ministeriales que sean fieles y transformadoras. La institución ofrece diplomas, licenciaturas y maestrías en estudios teológicos, ministerio pastoral, artes litúrgicas y humanidades, con el propósito de capacitar egresados no sólo para el ministerio en las iglesias sino también para el testimonio público, la crítica social y el servicio creativo. Una dimensión destacada de su labor es su compromiso con la teología contextual, que interpreta la Escritura y la tradición cristiana en diálogo con la cultura, la economía y la política mexicanas. A través de su enfoque de formación correlacionada —que reúne rigor académico, compromiso comunitario y formación espiritual— CTdeM se posiciona como un centro clave para el liderazgo teológico ecuménico. Mientras México atraviesa paisajes religiosos diversos, migración, violencia, desigualdad y pluralismo religioso, la Comunidad Teológica de México sigue siendo una institución vital que prepara líderes eclesiales capaces de enfrentar la complejidad, encarnar la unidad y comprometerse con la sociedad con profundidad e integridad.
