Education For Ministry
Many lay persons face the difficult and often subtle task of interpreting the faith of the church in a complex and confusing world. Education for Ministry provides a framework for each participant to move to a personal understanding of the fullness of God’s kingdom. This is a four-year course of theological bible study and reflection provided by The Sewanee School of Theology. Beginning September 6, a new group will form and meet weekly (Tuesdays, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.) over the course of the nine-month academic year. Members receive reading assignments and are responsible for setting their own learning goals. In the seminars, members have an opportunity to share their insights and discoveries as well as discuss questions that the study materials raise for them. First-year studies focus on the Old Testament, including the themes of creation, sin, judgment and redemption. The second year moves to the New Testament, including academic research regarding the Gospels. The third year covers early church history and the diversity of early Christian belief. The fourth year finishes with a survey of the diversity of modern Christian thought. Each “year” is a nine-month cycle of study, and participants register for one cycle at a time.
