The Right Reverend Edward L. Salmon, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and the Very Reverend Robert S. Munday, Dean and President of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, announce that Dean Munday has resigned as the Dean and President of Nashotah House, effective June 30, 2011.
As of July 1, 2011, Dean Munday will become the Research Professor of Theology and Mission at Nashotah House. Dean Munday will be relocating his family and residence from the Nashotah Deanery to Hobart House, a residence owned by the seminary on Upper Nashotah Lake.
Deo gratias.
Have the orthodox lost a seminary?
francis, not at all! There is still an outstanding group of faculty there that Dean Munday apparently will be joining. We have an outstanding Board of Trustees and I have no doubt that they will bring in another really strong person.
Words cannot even begin to describe what God has done for Nashotah House working through Dean Munday. I look forward to what God will be doing through him next.
In a time of true need within the Anglican Communion, Nashotah, under Dean Munday stepped into the breach with a stronger committment to true, orthodox teaching and expanded its reach with its Distance Learning program, which is expanding its depth and continues to grow. I am taking the Liturgics Workshop in July as my wife completes the full Liturgics Distance Course. We are so blessed by the fruits of Dean Munday’s work. We wish him well in his new teaching direction and pray that God will truly continue to bless the work and the long standing traditions of Nashotah.
A hard act to follow. I am always amazed at the high caliber of those I have had the privilege to come across on the blogs. God bless Dean Munday.
It seems like a sudden departure: usually one waits until a new dean is found. I hope things are alreiht with Dean Munday
Dean Munday did a great job in leading the House through a massive transformation. I commend the BOT in having the wisdom in choosing him ten years ago and backing him in the many changes he enacted –some unpopular at the time and some painful.
As a TSM grad and a Diocese of Pittsburgh (ACNA) priest I have to take some pride in the effect these two institutions have had on Nashotah — besides Bob Munday, we can add Doug McGlynn, Arnie Klukas, Carol Klukas, and Ted Welty. We gave away the best we had all for the sake of the gospel.
I forgot to add the most recent addition to the so-called Pittsburgh Mafia — the Rev Dr Jack Gabig.
Robert Munday is one of the heroes in our time of great struggle, strife, and, yes, blessing amidst Anglicans in North America.
#2, for goodness’ sake! Why would someone jump to such a conclusion? There could not be a more ‘orthodox’ faculty in place — thanks in no small part to Dean Munday’s leadership, for which we are all indebted. The seminary is poised for good things ahead.

Our best wishes and prayers go with Dean Munday. He has been used mightily of the Lord, particularly in bringing about practical reconciliation between many on either side of the evangelical/anglo-catholic divide – Dean Munday taught us that we are not as divided as we might think. Anglicanism owes him a great debt.
