Abstract
[Figure: see text] The last decade has seen dramatic changes within the Toronto School of Theology (TST). This article explores these changes, beginning with three external forces: a less optimistic view of ecumenism, increasing cultural polarization, and the commodification of education. It then shifts to consider the internal forces that have been considered the primary drivers of change by many members of the TST faculty, specifically the responses to accreditation reviews by the Association of Theological Schools in 2011 and the 2012 University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP). The responses, including the creation of a new PhD in theological studies in response to UTQAP, are detailed and analyzed. These responses absorbed enormous energy within TST, and while they created a successful program, they also led to unintended consequences. TST has become a very different theological consortium than it was on it fortieth anniversary, let alone when it was founded.
