The Polity Bowl is meant to celebrate both football victory, as well as the fellowship on and off the school between Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary and the Seminary of the Southwest. While there is certainly a feeling of spirited competition in the run-up to the game, there is also an overwhelming sense of friendship and camaraderie between the two teams. While we may partake in some gentle ribbing, we are really here to support each other on our educational and spiritual journeys.
