| A collection of arms for past and present seminaries in the Episcopal Church Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2025 click to enlarge |
I was recently inspired to tick off a few more coats of arms for seminaries of the Episcopal Church. While there are a few others not represented here, my criteria was simply that armorial insignia needs to conform to established rules within heraldry. So, no logos, no landscapes, etc. Basically, when looking for the heraldry of Episcopal seminaries, this is pretty much it.
Here's the key for the illustration above.
Top Row L-R: Nashotah House, Berekely at Yale, Bexley Hall, and Episcopal Theological Seminary in Kentucky
Bottom Row L-R: Church Divinity School of the Pacific, General Theological Seminary, School of Theology at the University of the South, Philadelphia Divinity School, and Episcopal Divinity School

| Arms of the General Theological Seminary Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2025 |
I was fortunate to spend some time at General in the Chelsea area of Manhattan--a lovely, beautiful campus. These arms were designed by The Rev. Canon Edward N. West (1909-1990) who was a talented liturgist, artist, etc. on the staff at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.

| Arms of Nashotah House Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2025 |
I don't have much information on Nashotah House's coat of arms. Certainly the two fountains are referencing the school's location in Wisconsin near water and the lilies for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Nashotah has a long tradition as an Anglo-Catholic seminary within the church.

| Arms of Bexley Hall Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2025 |
Lots to note here on arms of Bexley Hall designed in 1907-08 by The Rev. Canon Orville E. Watson (1857-1951), a professor at the seminary in Gambier, Ohio. For a full analysis on the heraldry of Kenyon College and Bexley Hall, please click here.
