Due to her extensive ministry experience alongside having earned a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Doctorate of Ministry from Palmer Theological Seminary, Dr. Salter McNeil has been invited to be an Associate Professor of Reconciliation Studies in the School of Theology at Seattle Pacific University.
