Bangor Theological Seminary and Barmen School of Theology of Wuppertal, Germany Sign Exchange Agreement On June 27, 2003, The Rev. Dr. William C. Imes, President of Bangor Theological Seminary in Bangor and Portland, signed an exchange agreement with Dr. Martin Karrer, the Rector of the Barmen School of Theology at Wuppertal, Germany. The signing took place at the annual meeting of the Friends of the Barmen School in Germany. The agreement represents a commitment by the two schools to exchange students, faculty and research efforts. In accordance with the agreement, two students from Barmen will be attending Bangor Theological Seminary this fall. A 2003 graduate of the Seminary, Paul Baker of Lisbon Falls, ME, will be enrolled as an exchange student from Bangor Theological Seminary at Barmen this fall. President Imes remarked, "This agreement represents a wonderful opportunity for our Seminary. A great deal of what students learn in seminary, they learn from each other. Having two students from Germany will broaden our experience of the Church and its ministry. It is also special that the agreement is with this historic school. Barmen is the site of one of the great missionary institutions in the German Church and a place where the Confessing Church, the Christians who stood against Hitler, first had its roots. The Barmen Declaration of 1934 was an effort to identify the ways in which Fascism ran counter to Christian understandings of church and society. Unfortunately, it was not heeded by many of those in the church of that day."
