As such it is responsible for the careful study and dissemination of theories and practices that affect how the Bible is translated, interpreted, and employed for the benefit of the church and humankind. Drawing upon the Bible Society’s nearly two-centuries’ worth of translation and publication experience, the Nida Institute is committed to assuring that the best modern scholarship from a wide range of disciplines is brought to bear on the challenging task of presenting the sacred text to the modern world in engaging ways that will change lives. To accomplish this, the Nida Institutes draws upon the expertise and experience of many partner organizations, including the United Bible Societies and the Society of Biblical Scholarship. In partnership with the San Pellegrino University Foundation, the Nida Institute sponsors the fully accredited Nida School of Translation Studies (NSTS) held each summer in Misano Adriatico, Italy.

The Nida Institute is proud to be partnering with New York Theological Seminary in the establishment and development of a Doctor of Ministry program focused on Bible Engagement, a three-year program that began in the fall of 2011. Nida Institute staff will work alongside New York Theological Seminary professors to present courses on Critical Interpretation, Culture Leadership and Identity, and Mentoring and Research. In addition, doctoral candidates will have opportunities to interface with one another and discuss their dissertation projects as part of a springtime Nida-sponsored retreat at NSTS campus in Misano.

BINEY, assistant professor of religion and society and research director for the Center for the Study and Practice of Urban Religion, New York Theological Seminary, will introduce and analyze transnational networks that exemplify new forms of twenty-first-century mission efforts. These efforts use structures that look much like the nineteenth-century Protestant churches in Africa, relating to a mission board in New York or London—only now the relationship is reversed, with the ordained leadership coming from Nigeria or Ghana to New York.

Dr. Biney is also minister of missions and outreach at First Presbyterian Church of Irvington, New Jersey. He has served in various ministerial positions, including as the organizing pastor for a Ghanaian immigrant congregation in Bronx, N.Y. Dr. Biney is author of From Africa to America: Religion and Adaptation Among Ghanaian Immigrants in New York (2011).

Launching Spring 2012, the partnership establishes a rigorous Buddhist studies track within the NYTS Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling program designed for those who wish to serve the world as spiritual care providers in hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, mental health centers, and other institutions.

The creation of this innovative curriculum was supported by The Palatte Fund and the Henry Luce Foundation. The Palette Fund honors the legacy of Rand Harlan Skolnick through collaborative grantmaking and programs that value human rights and education. The Luce Foundation supports multifaith initiatives at NYTS.

“The New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care is very excited about our new partnership with NYTS,” says Koshin Paley Ellison, Co-Executive Director of NYZCCC, “It allows us to offer anyone interested in Buddhist based chaplaincy the opportunity to receive fully accredited seminary training and clinical training. This will provide the next generation of Buddhist practitioners an actual livelihood in spiritual service as chaplains working at the bedside of those in critical need.”

As a leader in multifaith education and chaplaincy, NYTS’ programs embrace Buddhism as well as other major faith traditions. The Buddhist track includes courses in Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist philosophy, and world religions to enhance the pastoral care and counseling program. Additionally, students who enroll in the program will receive 1600 hours of innovative contemplative-based clinical training through NYZCCC in two of New York City’s top medical centers: New York Presbyterian and Beth Israel Medical Center

“Our metropolitan context is extraordinarily diverse both religiously and spiritually” notes NYTS President Dale T. Irvin. “Christian institutions such as NYTS are increasingly being called upon to extend their resources and assist other religious faiths in training for leadership. Today, a Christian in a hospital or other facility in our region is more likely than ever to be visited by a chaplain of another faith. I, for one, would be comforted to know that the Buddhist chaplain who was calling on me or another member of my congregation or family in the hospital had been trained in this innovative pastoral care program with NYTS and NYZCCC.”
