Education
for Ministry (EfM) is a program of study, prayer and reflection which is
coordinated by the School of Theology at the University of the South. It
is designed for laypersons who want to gain a better understanding of scripture,
theology and themselves.
EfM is a four-year course of study, but you sign up one year at a time. The first year studies the Old Testament, second year the New Testament, and third and fourth years cover church history, liturgy, philosophy and theology. The groups meet once each week during the school year with the guidance of trained mentors. Meetings include worship, fellowship, study, discussion, and theological reflection.
Groups tend to become close and safe communities where people feel comfortable considering their own personal theology. Exploration and questions are welcome, and thoughtful reflection and discussion often provide new insight into participants faith and life.
Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral hosts EfM beginning each the fall. The program currently costs $340 per year. Study materials are provided. If you are interested, contact Gary Hicks (816-699-2224, gary@garyhicks.net).
