The Gettysburg Seminary Radio Program
Established in 1970, Seminary Explores is an exercise in public theology and mission leadership.
Broadcast every Sunday morning over two commercial radio stations, WGET (1320 AM) at 8:35am and WGTY (107.7 FM) at 5:00 or 5:30am, the program was founded in December, 1970 to provide, as a public service, conversation on issues of importance to South Central Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland, including Harrisburg, Hagerstown, Lancaster, and York, as well as Gettysburg and Hanover.
In addition, The Seminary Explores provides an opportunity for the community to hear a variety of issues that are of significant theological interest, but do not entail self-advertising or proselytizing.
