PANA Institute for Leadership Development

Engagement at the Intersection of Faith, Society, and Asian and Pacific Islander American Culture

The PANA Institute was founded at the Pacific School of Religion in 2000 as an ecumenical and interfaith organization in partnership with the many denominations whose teaching institutions constitute the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.

In August 2009, the PSR faculty, the executive committee of the board of trustees, and the administration announced the suspension of operations of the PANA Institute. A task force of the PSR faculty is exploring new avenues for encouraging scholarship and theological leadership among Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities.
