Leader.Blount Hall at WestminsterFor generations, Westminster Hall was a home away from homea place where lifelong friendships were formed during late-night discussions. Now the new homeof the Leadership Institute will become Blount Hall at Westminster to honor Brian Blount for his 16 years of leadership and service to the Seminary. Its hard to articulate how meaningful it is for me that when people visit the school, theyll have a sense thatI contributed something for the future, said Blount when asked about the honor.We are in the process of raising $7 million to restore Westminster to its former glory with modern technologies needed to provide continuing education to visiting pastors, Christian educators, and other church leaders. Your gift will help us turn this vision into reality.
