The Rev. Dr. Trace Haythorn is President of the Fund for Theological Education in Atlanta, GA.
The Fund for Theological Education (FTE) is a leading ecumenical advocate for excellence and diversity in Christian ministry and theological scholarship. FTE supports the next generation of leaders among pastors and scholars-providing fellowships and a network of support to gifted young people from all denominations and racial/ethnic backgrounds.
The Fund provides more than $1.5 million annually in fellowships and other support to students exploring vocations in ministry and teaching. Since 1954, the Fund has awarded nearly 6,000 fellowships in partnership with others committed to the future of quality leadership for the church.
Dr. Haythorn joined FTE from his position as director of the Vocation and Values program at Hastings College, one of the national Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation (PTEV) funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. While there, he prepared young adults for lifelong service to the church in four areas: Pastoral Leadership; Christian Education and Youth Ministry; Music Ministry; and Social Justice and Mission.
After joining the Hastings College faculty in 2003 as assistant professor of religion, Haythorn created the college's Center for Servant Leadership, which encourages students to serve as catalysts for change and builders of sustainable communities.
He was co-director of Montreat Youth Conferences in Montreat, North Carolina from 1998 to 2000 and served pastorates in Nashville, Tennessee and Melbourne, Australia.
Haythorn holds a Ph.D. in the cultural foundations of education from Syracuse University, a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts degree in marketing and psychology from Austin College. He was ordained by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1992.

Dr. Trace Haythorn (PCUSA)In a recent edition of the UK periodical Standpoint, writer Lionel Shriver bemoans the spiritual cost of the electronic gadgetry which have insinuated themselves into our lives in ways that leave us feeling as if we can not live without them (http://bit.ly/bNU3Qp). She writes,
