Education for Ministry

One of the best adult formation experiences is Education for Ministry, commonly called EfM. Participants learn about the Bible, Church history, theology and ethics. More significantly, they grow in their ability to do theological reflection. Theological reflection refers to thinking about our lives and our world and her issues in the light of God.

A new group is forming in the Dayton area that will be mentored by Eric Schryver.

The EfM seminars will be held at St. George’s Episcopal Church, 5520 Far Hills Ave., Dayton 45429. The group will meet from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, beginning September 12, 2012, and ending on June 5, 2013.  No classes will be scheduled around holidays. 

The enrollment fee is $350 and is due by August 26, 2012.  Reduced rates may be available through a variety of sources, and some scholarship assistance may be available through Christ Church.

Interested participants are encouraged to go to the EfM website at www.sewanee.edu/EfM.

If  there are questions about the local group, please contact Eric Schryver. Call the parish office or email me for Eric’s personal contact information.

We have a number of Christ Church folk who have participated in EfM over the years and several who have mentored groups as well. Let me know if you would like to talk with any of them.

Please prayerfully consider EfM.
