Affectionately known as EfM, this program of theological education-at-a-distance comes from the Episcopal School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.
Every baptized person is called to ministry. The Education for Ministry (EfM) program provides people with the education to carry out that ministry. During the Service of Confirmation we ask God to "Renew in these your servants the covenant you made with them at Baptism. Send them forth in the power of the Spirit to perform the service you set before them." EfM offers an opportunity to discover how to respond to the call to Christian service.
Students sign up one year at a time for this four-year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, philosophy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work. For information, contact Margie White.
