The Theological
Education Institute
(TEI) was founded in
Boston in 1990 by
the
Rev. John C. Rankin,
and it has been
headquartered in his
native Hartford
since 1992. The TEI
is an LLC, and
not a not-for-profit
organization. This
allows freedom for
interface with the
partisan political
world, where the
priority of the
vision for "first
the Gospel, then
politics..."
and a passion for
"the love of hard
questions" is always
in place; where "the
biblical nature of a
level playing field"
for all debated
issues to be equally
heard is in place,
confident that the
truth will rise to
the top.
The TEI is
engaged in bringing
theological
education to the
church and society
in various ways. The
most well known is
the Mars Hill Forum
series, in place
since 1993. These
forums have always
been and always will
be strictly
educational, but the
TEI has opted not to
form a
501(c)3 tax-exempt
organization. The
forums
may be supported
through other
non-profit
organizations, and
for details, contact
the TEI.
The Mars Hill
Society is an
invitational
association of
like-minded
Christians who want
to see the Gospel
well represented in
all arenas of the
culture, including
the desire to see
biblically committed
believers
elected to political
office. It will not
endorse candidates
for office, but will
put forth ideas
which candidates may
endorse if they
wish.
