Description
The unraveling of Christendom in North America has given rise to a renewed interest in the calling and identity of the Church. However, far less attention has been paid to implications for theological education. Taking God’s missional nature as a point of departure, this workshop will explore the theological and sociological contours of of theological training in a new day, and look at the frontier of new educational initiatives. The way forward will be missional in orientation, exhibit a vital connection to the local church, mindful of a variety of ways to be engaged in ministry, and less focused on producing professionals.
