Andover Newton Theological School is the predecessor of Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School and a graduate school and seminary, affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA and the United Church of Christ. It was located in Newton, Massachusetts and was the product of a merger between Andover Theological Seminary and Newton Theological Institution. In recent years, it was an official open and affirming seminary, meaning that it was open to students of same-sex attraction or transgender orientation and generally advocated for tolerance of it in church and society.
In November 2015, the school announced that it would move from its campus and become part of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, a process it completed in July 2017.
