"Our goal was always to help her achieve the position at the seminary," he said. "We wanted to keep her."
Kathy Smith, CTS director of continuing education and a full-time faculty member, said CTS leaders have supported and empowered her work.

CT contacted several of Tucker's former colleagues and associates, but they declined to comment.
