In this conversation, Dr. Jo de-Blois, chief global engagement officer, and Dr. Adriaan Neele, president of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, discuss their work in building a global network of theological schools. They explain how the collaboration is structured, how partnerships are designed to foster local agency, and why decentralization and relational trust are critical to sustaining global collaboration. The conversation also explores how they understand power within international partnerships and offers practical insights for institutions considering collaborative ventures of their own.
